Quantum Black Holes in the Sky
Jahed Abedi, Niayesh Afshordi, Naritaka Oshita +1
Black Holes are possibly the most enigmatic objects in our Universe. From their detection in gravitational waves upon their mergers, to their snapshot eating at the centres of gala…
Echoes from Quantum Black Holes
Qingwen Wang, Naritaka Oshita, Niayesh Afshordi
One of the most triumphant predictions of the theory if general relativity was the recent LIGO-Virgo detection of gravitational wave (GW) signals produced in binary black hole (BH)…
On Reflectivity of Quantum Black Hole Horizons
Naritaka Oshita, Qingwen Wang, Niayesh Afshordi
We study the reflectivity of quantum black hole (BH) horizons using detailed balance and fluctuation-dissipation theorem, finding a universal flux reflectivity given by the Boltzma…
Black Hole Echology: The Observer's Manual
Qingwen Wang, Niayesh Afshordi
While recent detections of gravitational waves from the mergers of binary black holes match well with the predictions of General Relativity (GR), they cannot directly confirm the e…
