Eigenmode frequency distribution of rapidly rotating neutron stars
Stratos Boutloukos, Hans-Peter Nollert
We use perturbation theory and the relativistic Cowling approximation to numerically compute characteristic oscillation modes of rapidly rotating relativistic stars which consist o…
Inspiralling black holes: the close limit
Gaurav Khanna, John Baker, Reinaldo Gleiser +5
Using several approximations, we calculate an estimate of the gravitational radiation emitted when two equal mass black holes coalesce at the end of their binary inspiral. We find…
Quantifying excitations of quasinormal mode systems
Hans-Peter Nollert, Richard H. Price
Computations of the strong field generation of gravitational waves by black hole processes produce waveforms that are dominated by quasinormal (QN) ringing, a damped oscillation ch…
A slightly less grand challenge: Colliding Black Holes using perturbation techniques
Hans-Peter Nollert, John Baker, Richard Price +1
Perturbation techniques can be used as an alternative to supercomputer calculations in calculating gravitational radiation emitted by colliding black holes, provided the process st…
About the Significance of Quasinormal Modes of Black Holes
Hans-Peter Nollert
Quasinormal modes have played a prominent role in the discussion of perturbations of black holes, and the question arises whether they are as significant as normal modes are for se…
