IAS Fundamental Physics Seminar Series - Probing Nonlinear Aspects of Gravity with Gravitational Waves
3:00pm - 4:00pm
IAS 4042, 4/F, Lo Ka Chung Building, Lee Shau Kee Campus, HKUST
Abstract
In this talk, the speaker will discuss one of the frontiers of both theory and data analysis in gravitational wave astronomy - understanding the ringing of black holes and probing them from real data. He will review past efforts starting from Chandrasekhar, Detweiler, et al in analyzing modes of black holes and explain what we currently understand in both linear and nonlinear wave properties, as well as the corresponding detection aspect. At last, he will show a few pressing problems and where we will be heading.
