Dissection of a merger-ringdown waveform in the small-mass-ratio limit
Patrick Bourg, Lorenzo Küchler, Benjamin Leather +6
Work over the past two decades has unveiled the rich phenomenology of black hole binary mergers and subsequent ringdowns, involving a tapestry of quasinormal modes (QNMs), nonlinea…
Not All Resonances Are Created Equal: Prioritizing Tidal Resonances in EMRIs
Béatrice Bonga, Patrick Bourg, Bram ten Brink +2
Tidal perturbations from nearby compact objects can drive resonant "kicks" in extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs), imprinting potentially detectable phase shifts in LISA-band grav…
Universality in the Transition from Inspiral to Plunge for Extreme-Mass-Ratio-Inspirals: High-Accuracy Analytic Solutions and Catastrophe Theory
Ariadna Ribes Metidieri, Béatrice Bonga, Badri Krishnan +1
We revisit the transition from inspiral to plunge for extreme mass-ratio inspirals on quasi-circular, inclined orbits in Kerr spacetime from the perspective of catastrophe theory.…
Convergence of post-Newtonian for quasi-circular non-precessing comparable mass ratios BBHs
Dongze Sun, Béatrice Bonga, Leo C. Stein +1
Post-Newtonian (PN) theory provides the analytic foundation for modeling the early inspiral of binary black holes. However, as an asymptotic series, successive PN orders do not nec…
ESO Expanding Horizon White Paper: Revealing the properties of matter at supranuclear densities with gravitational waves
Tim Dietrich, Tanja Hinderer, Micaela Oertel +40
Understanding dense matter under extreme conditions is one of the most fundamental puzzles in modern physics. Complex interactions give rise to emergent, collective phenomena. Whil…
Black hole spectroscopy: from theory to experiment
Emanuele Berti, Vitor Cardoso, Gregorio Carullo +65
The "ringdown" radiation emitted by oscillating black holes has great scientific potential. By carefully predicting the frequencies and amplitudes of black hole quasinormal modes a…
