Nonlinear ringdown at the black hole horizon

Neev Khera, Ariadna Ribes Metidieri, Béatrice Bonga +6

The gravitational waves emitted by a perturbed black hole ringing down are well described by damped sinusoids, whose frequencies are those of quasinormal modes. Typically, first-or…

Tidally induced multipole moments of a nonrotating black hole vanish to all post-Newtonian orders

Eric Poisson

The tidal Love numbers of a black hole vanish, and this is often taken to imply that the hole's tidally induced multipole moments vanish also. An obstacle to establishing a link be…

Particle hanging on a string near a Schwarzschild black hole

Michael LaHaye, Eric Poisson

The literature features many instances of spacetimes containing two black holes held apart by a thin distribution of matter on the axis joining the holes. For all such spacetimes,…

Compact body in a tidal environment: New types of relativistic Love numbers, and a post-Newtonian operational definition for tidally induced multipole moments

Eric Poisson

We examine the tidal deformation of a nonrotating compact body (material body or black hole) in general relativity. The body's exterior metric is calculated in a simultaneous expan…

Gravitomagnetic Love tensor of a slowly rotating body: post-Newtonian theory

Eric Poisson

The gravitomagnetic tidal Love number of a slowly rotating body was calculated previously under the assumption that the velocity perturbation created by the tidal field consists of…

Tidal driving of inertial modes of Maclaurin spheroids

Eric Poisson, Cyann Buisson

We examine the inertial modes of vibration of a Maclaurin spheroid and determine how they are driven by an external tidal field, either Newtonian (gravitoelectric) or post-Newtonia…
