Listening for Ringing Black Holes
Jolien D. E. Creighton
The gravitational radiation produced by binary black holes during their inspiral, merger, and ringdown phases is a promising candidate for detection by the first or second generati…
Gravitational Calorimetry
Jolien D. E. Creighton
I generalize the quasilocal formulation of thermodynamics of Brown and York to include dilaton theories of gravity as well as Abelian and Yang-Mills gauge matter fields with possib…
Thermodynamics of Dilatonic Black Holes in Dimensions
J. D. E. Creighton, R. B. Mann
We present a formalism for studying the thermodynamics of black holes in dilaton gravity. The thermodynamic variables are defined on a quasilocal surface surrounding the black hole…
Quailocal Formalism for Dilaton Gravity with Yang-Mills Fields
Jolien Creighton, Robert Mann
We present a quasilocal formalism, based on the one proposed by Brown and York, for dilaton gravity with Yang-Mills fields. For solutions possessing sufficient symmetry, we define…
