Black Hole Ringdown: The Importance of Overtones

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: Overtones in the gravitational ringdown following a merger of two black holes can provide a precise estimate of the final black hole mass and spin as well as test the famed no-hair theorem using current detectors.
