Laser Interferometer Space Antenna
- P. Amaro-Seoane, H. Audley, +81 authors P. Zweifel
- Physics
- 13 April 2012
Following the selection of The Gravitational Universe by ESA, and the successful flight of LISA Pathfinder, the LISA Consortium now proposes a 4 year mission in response to ESA's call for missions… Expand
TOPICAL REVIEW: Quasinormal modes of black holes and black branes
- E. Berti, V. Cardoso, A. Starinets
- Physics
- 19 May 2009
Quasinormal modes are eigenmodes of dissipative systems. Perturbations of classical gravitational backgrounds involving black holes or branes naturally lead to quasinormal modes. The analysis and… Expand
Gravitational-wave spectroscopy of massive black holes with the space interferometer LISA
- E. Berti, V. Cardoso, C. Will
- Physics
- 29 December 2005
Newly formed black holes are expected to emit characteristic radiation in the form of quasinormal modes, called ringdown waves, with discrete frequencies. LISA should be able to detect the ringdown… Expand
Inspiral, merger, and ringdown of unequal mass black hole binaries: A multipolar analysis
- E. Berti, V. Cardoso, +4 authors B. Brügmann
- Physics
- 8 March 2007
We study the inspiral, merger, and ringdown of unequal mass black hole binaries by analyzing a catalogue of numerical simulations for seven different values of the mass ratio (from q=M2/M1=1 to q=4).… Expand
Quasinormal Modes and Strong Cosmic Censorship.
- V. Cardoso, J. L. Costa, K. Destounis, Peter Hintz, A. Jansen
- Physics, Medicine
- Physical review letters
- 28 November 2017
The fate of Cauchy horizons, such as those found inside charged black holes, is intrinsically connected to the decay of small perturbations exterior to the event horizon. As such, the validity of the… Expand
Is the Gravitational-Wave Ringdown a Probe of the Event Horizon?
- V. Cardoso, E. Franzin, P. Pani
- Physics, Medicine
- Physical review letters
- 23 February 2016
It is commonly believed that the ringdown signal from a binary coalescence provides a conclusive proof for the formation of an event horizon after the merger. This expectation is based on the… Expand
Testing the nature of dark compact objects: a status report
- V. Cardoso, P. Pani
- Physics
- 10 April 2019
Very compact objects probe extreme gravitational fields and may be the key to understand outstanding puzzles in fundamental physics. These include the nature of dark matter, the fate of spacetime… Expand

Testing general relativity with present and future astrophysical observations
- E. Berti, E. Barausse, +50 authors M. Zilhão
- Physics
- 28 January 2015
One century after its formulation, Einstein's general relativity (GR) has made remarkable predictions and turned out to be compatible with all experimental tests. Most of these tests probe the theory… Expand
Testing strong-field gravity with tidal Love numbers
- V. Cardoso, E. Franzin, A. Maselli, P. Pani, G. Raposo
- Physics
- 4 January 2017
The tidal Love numbers (TLNs) encode the deformability of a self-gravitating object immersed in a tidal environment and depend significantly both on the object's internal structure and on the… Expand
