Nonlinearities in black hole ringdowns

K Mitman, M Lagos, LC Stein, S Ma, L Hui, Y Chen… - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
The gravitational wave strain emitted by a perturbed black hole (BH) ringing down is
typically modeled analytically using first-order BH perturbation theory. In this Letter, we show …

Generation and propagation of nonlinear quasinormal modes of a Schwarzschild black hole

M Lagos, L Hui - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
In the analysis of a binary black hole coalescence, it is necessary to include gravitational self-
interactions in order to describe the transition of the gravitational wave signal from the …

Black-hole ringdown as a probe of higher-curvature gravity theories

HO Silva, A Ghosh, A Buonanno - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
Detecting gravitational waves from coalescing compact binaries allows us to explore the
dynamical, nonlinear regime of general relativity and constrain modifications to it. Some of …

Stability of the fundamental quasinormal mode in time-domain observations against small perturbations

E Berti, V Cardoso, MHY Cheung, F Di Filippo… - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
Black hole spectroscopy with gravitational waves is an important tool to measure the mass
and spin of astrophysical black holes and to test their Kerr nature. Next-generation ground …

Spectral instability of quasinormal modes and strong cosmic censorship

A Courty, K Destounis, P Pani - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
Recent studies have shown that quasinormal modes suffer from spectral instabilities, a frailty
of black holes that leads to disproportional migration of their spectra in the complex plane …

Conserved currents for a Kerr black hole and orthogonality of quasinormal modes

SR Green, S Hollands, L Sberna, V Toomani… - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We introduce a bilinear form for Weyl scalar perturbations of Kerr. The form is symmetric and
conserved, and we show that, when combined with a suitable renormalization prescription …

Probing wave-optics effects and low-mass dark matter halos with lensing of gravitational waves from massive black holes

M Çalışkan, N Anil Kumar, L Ji, JM Ezquiaga… - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will detect gravitational waves (GWs)
emitted by massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) in the low-frequency (∼ mHz) band. Low …

Novel ringdown amplitude-phase consistency test

XJ Forteza, S Bhagwat, S Kumar, P Pani - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
The ringdown signal emitted during a binary black hole coalescence can be modeled as a
linear superposition of the characteristic damped modes of the remnant black hole that get …
