Plunge-Merger-Ringdown Tests of General Relativity with GW250114

Leonardo Grimaldi, Elisa Maggio, Lorenzo Pompili +1

The binary black hole signal GW250114, the clearest gravitational wave detected to date, offers a unique opportunity to test general relativity in the relativistic strong-gravity r…

The Early Career Workshop of GR-Amaldi 2025

S Al-Shammari, C P L Berry, C E A Chapman-Bird +18

Gravitational physics and astronomy have developed rapidly over the last decade, driven by new observations and theoretical breakthroughs. As new as the science and technology of t…

One Membrane to Love them all: Tidal deformations of compact objects from the membrane paradigm

Michela Silvestrini, Elisa Maggio, Sumanta Chakraborty +1

The tidal deformability is a key observable to test the nature of compact objects in a binary coalescence. Within vacuum General Relativity, the tidal Love numbers of a four-dimens…

Black hole mimickers: from theory to observation

Cosimo Bambi, Ramy Brustein, Vitor Cardoso +16

The black hole paradigm, while remarkably successful, raises fundamental questions-both classical and quantum-about the nature of spacetime, horizons, and singularities. Black hole…

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…

Parametrized spin-precessing inspiral-merger-ringdown waveform model for tests of general relativity

Lorenzo Pompili, Elisa Maggio, Hector O. Silva +1

The coalescence of binary black holes (BBHs) provides a unique arena to test general relativity (GR) in the dynamical, strong-field regime. To this end, we present pSEOBNRv5PHM, a…
