Empirical tests of the black hole no-hair conjecture using gravitational-wave observations
Gregorio Carullo, Laura van der Schaaf, Lionel London +10
We show that second-generation gravitational-wave detectors at their design sensitivity will allow us to directly probe the ringdown phase of binary black hole coalescences. This o…
