Model systematics in time domain tests of binary black hole evolution
Shilpa Kastha, Collin D. Capano, Julian Westerweck +3
We perform several consistency tests between different phases of binary black hole dynamics; the inspiral, the merger, and the ringdown on the gravitational wave events GW150914 an…
Sub-atomic constraints on the Kerr geometry of GW150914
Julian Westerweck, Yotam Sherf, Collin D. Capano +1
We obtain stringent constraints on near-horizon deviations of a black hole from the Kerr geometry by performing a long-duration Bayesian analysis of the gravitational-wave data imm…
A multimode quasi-normal spectrum from a perturbed black hole
Collin D. Capano, Miriam Cabero, Julian Westerweck +6
When two black holes merge, the late stage of gravitational wave emission is a superposition of exponentially damped sinusoids. According to the black hole no-hair theorem, this ri…
