Effective Field Theory of Black Hole Quasinormal Modes in Scalar-Tensor Theories
Gabriele Franciolini, Lam Hui, Riccardo Penco +2
The final ringdown phase in a coalescence process is a valuable laboratory to test General Relativity and potentially constrain additional degrees of freedom in the gravitational s…
