On gravitational-wave spectroscopy of massive black holes with the space interferometer LISA
Emanuele Berti, Vitor Cardoso, Clifford M. Will
Newly formed black holes are expected to emit characteristic radiation in the form of quasi-normal modes, called ringdown waves, with discrete frequencies. LISA should be able to d…
The Confrontation between General Relativity and Experiment
Clifford M. Will
The status of experimental tests of general relativity and of theoretical frameworks for analysing them is reviewed. Einstein's equivalence principle (EEP) is well supported by exp…
Gravitational Recoil of Inspiralling Black-Hole Binaries to Second Post-Newtonian Order
Luc Blanchet, Moh'd S. S. Qusailah, Clifford M. Will
The loss of linear momentum by gravitational radiation and the resulting gravitational recoil of black-hole binary systems may play an important role in the growth of massive black…
Was Einstein Right? Testing Relativity at the Centenary
Clifford M. Will
We review the experimental evidence for Einstein's special and general relativity. A variety of high precision null experiments verify the weak equivalence principle and local Lore…
Special Relativity: A Centenary Perspective
Clifford M. Will
This article is a partly pedagogical, partly historical and partly technical review of special relativity and its experimental foundations, in honor of the centenary of Einstein's…
Testing general relativity and probing the merger history of massive black holes with LISA
Emanuele Berti, Alessandra Buonanno, Clifford M. Will
Observations of binary inspirals with LISA will allow us to place bounds on alternative theories of gravity and to study the merger history of massive black holes (MBH). These poss…
