Unstable chords and destructive resonant excitation of black hole quasinormal modes

Naritaka Oshita, Emanuele Berti, Vitor Cardoso

The quasinormal mode spectrum of black holes is unstable against small modifications of the radial potential describing massless perturbations. We study how these small modificatio…

Black holes surrounded by generic matter distributions: polar perturbations and energy flux

Nicholas Speeney, Emanuele Berti, Vitor Cardoso +1

We develop a numerical approach to compute polar parity perturbations within fully relativistic models of black hole systems embedded in generic, spherically symmetric, anisotropic…

Reply to Comment on "Analysis of Ringdown Overtones in GW150914"

Gregorio Carullo, Roberto Cotesta, Emanuele Berti +1

In this Reply we include the corrections suggested in the Comment [Phys. Rev. Lett. 131, 169001]. We show that their impact on our results is small, and that the overall conclusion…

Extracting linear and nonlinear quasinormal modes from black hole merger simulations

Mark Ho-Yeuk Cheung, Emanuele Berti, Vishal Baibhav +1

In general relativity, when two black holes merge they produce a rotating (Kerr) black hole remnant. According to perturbation theory, the remnant emits "ringdown" radiation: a sup…

Spin dependence of black hole ringdown nonlinearities

Jaime Redondo-Yuste, Gregorio Carullo, Justin L. Ripley +2

The nonlinear character of general relativity leaves its imprint in the coalescence of two black holes, from the inspiral to the final ringdown stage. To quantify the impact of non…

Black-hole mergers in disklike environments could explain the observed - correlation

Alessandro Santini, Davide Gerosa, Roberto Cotesta +1

Current gravitational-wave data from stellar-mass black-hole binary mergers suggest a correlation between the binary mass ratio and the effective spin : more un…
