Gravitational waveforms from binaries in higher-derivative gravity: a Love story

Pablo A. Cano, Francesco Fucito, Jose F. Morales +1

We study the emission of gravitational waves by a test particle orbiting a non-rotating black hole in higher-derivative gravity theories with cubic and quartic contractions of the…

Amplification of new physics in the quasinormal mode spectrum of highly-rotating black holes

Pablo A. Cano, Marina David, Guido van der Velde

We show that perturbatively-small higher-derivative corrections to the Einstein-Hilbert action can lead to order-one modifications of the quasinormal mode spectrum of near-extremal…

Eikonal quasinormal modes of highly-spinning black holes in higher-curvature gravity: a window into extremality

Pablo A. Cano, Marina David, Guido van der Velde

We carry out the first computation of gravitational quasinormal modes of black holes with arbitrary rotation in a theory with higher-derivative corrections. Our analysis focuses on…

Black hole spectroscopy: from theory to experiment

Emanuele Berti, Vitor Cardoso, Gregorio Carullo +70

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…

Love numbers beyond GR from the modified Teukolsky equation

Pablo A. Cano

We obtain the full set of tidal Love numbers of non-rotating black holes in an effective field theory extension of general relativity. We achieve our results using a recently intro…

Ringdown Analysis of Rotating Black Holes in Effective Field Theory Extensions of General Relativity

Simon Maenaut, Gregorio Carullo, Pablo A. Cano +4

Quasinormal modes of rapidly rotating black holes were recently computed in a generic effective-field-theory extension of general relativity with higher-derivative corrections. We…
