Merger-Ringdown Consistency: A New Test of Strong Gravity using Deep Learning
Swetha Bhagwat, Costantino Pacilio
The gravitational waves emitted during the coalescence of binary black holes are an excellent probe to test the behaviour of strong gravity. In this paper, we propose a new test ca…
The Importance of Priors on LIGO-Virgo Parameter Estimation: the Case of Primordial Black Holes
S. Bhagwat, V. De Luca, G. Franciolini +2
The black holes detected by current and future interferometers can have diverse origins. Their expected mass and spin distributions depend on the specifics of the formation mechani…
Spectroscopy of binary black hole ringdown using overtones and angular modes
Xisco Jiménez Forteza, Swetha Bhagwat, Paolo Pani +1
The black hole uniqueness and the no-hair theorems imply that the quasinormal spectrum of any astrophysical black hole is determined solely by its mass and spin. The countably infi…
Prospects for Fundamental Physics with LISA
Enrico Barausse, Emanuele Berti, Thomas Hertog +318
In this paper, which is of programmatic rather than quantitative nature, we aim to further delineate and sharpen the future potential of the LISA mission in the area of fundamental…
Detectability of the subdominant mode in a binary black hole ringdown
Swetha Bhagwat, Miriam Cabero, Collin D. Capano +2
The ringdown is the late part of the post-merger signature emitted during the coalescence of two black holes and comprises of a superposition of quasi-normal-modes. Within general…
Ringdown overtones, black hole spectroscopy, and no-hair theorem tests
Swetha Bhagwat, Xisco Jimenez Forteza, Paolo Pani +1
Validating the black-hole no-hair theorem with gravitational-wave observations of compact binary coalescences provides a compelling argument that the remnant object is indeed a bla…
