Quasinormal modes of black holes and black branes

TL;DR: Quasinormal modes are eigenmodes of dissipative systems as discussed by the authors, and they serve as an important tool for determining the near-equilibrium properties of strongly coupled quantum field theories, such as viscosity, conductivity and diffusion constants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Testing general relativity with present and future astrophysical observations

Emanuele Berti, +64 more
TL;DR: In this article, a catalog of modified theories of gravity for which strong-field predictions have been computed and contrasted to Einstein's theory is presented, and the current understanding of the structure and dynamics of compact objects in these theories is summarized.

Laser Interferometer Space Antenna

TL;DR: The LISA Consortium as mentioned in this paper proposed a 4-year mission in response to ESA's call for missions for L3, which is an all-sky monitor and will offer a wide view of a dynamic cosmos using Gravitational Waves as new and unique messengers to unveil The Gravitational Universe.
Journal ArticleDOI

Geodesic stability, Lyapunov exponents, and quasinormal modes

TL;DR: In this article, the Lyapunov exponent was used to determine the quasinormal modes of black holes in any dimensions, independent of the field equations and only assuming a stationary, spherically symmetric and asymptotically flat line element.
Journal ArticleDOI

Is the Gravitational-Wave Ringdown a Probe of the Event Horizon?

TL;DR: It is pointed out that this assumption that very compact objects with a light ring will display a similar ringdown stage, even when their quasinormal-mode spectrum is completely different from that of a black hole, is wrong.
