A Beginner's Guide to Black Hole Imaging and Associated Tests of General Relativity
Alexandru Lupsasca, Daniel R. Mayerson, Bart Ripperda +1
Following the 2019 release by the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration of the first pictures of a supermassive black hole, there has been an explosion of interest in black hole im…
Gravitational Multipoles in Five Dimensions
Jef Heynen, Daniel R. Mayerson
We define gravitational mass and current multipoles for five-dimensional, stationary, and asymptotically flat vacuum metrics. We do this by generalizing Thorne's asymptotically Car…
Observational Opportunities for the Fuzzball Program
Daniel R. Mayerson, Bert Vercnocke
We discuss how string theory, and in particular the "fuzzball" paradigm, has already made and can make meaningful contributions to the phenomenology of strong gravity observations.…
Black Hole Photon Rings Beyond General Relativity
Seppe Staelens, Daniel R. Mayerson, Fabio Bacchini +2
We investigate whether photon ring observations in black hole imaging are able to distinguish between the Kerr black hole in general relativity and alternative black holes that dev…
On Supersymmetric Multipole Ratios
Bogdan Ganchev, Daniel R. Mayerson
Four-dimensional supersymmetric black holes are static and so have all vanishing multipoles. Nevertheless, it is possible to define finite multipole ratios for these black holes, b…
Gravitational Multipoles in General Stationary Spacetimes
Daniel R. Mayerson
The Geroch-Hansen and Thorne (ACMC) formalisms give rigorous and equivalent definitions for gravitational multipoles in stationary vacuum spacetimes. However, despite their ubiquit…
