Black Hole Spectroscopy
Testing gravity by listening to the ringing of black holes
Emanuele Berti
Professor
Department of Physics and Astronomy
Johns Hopkins University
About the Lecture
The lecture will explain how the gravitational-wave ringing of a newly formed black hole can be separated into characteristic modes, producing a kind of black-hole spectrum. It will explore how measuring those modes can reveal the properties of black holes and test Einstein’s general theory of relativity in the strong-gravity regime.
