The advent of gravitational wave observation starts a new era of precision tests of gravitational theory. Estimations of black holes mergers should come from any well established gravitational theories, provided that the theory has not been ruled out by observations. In this paper we consider the low energy limit of heterotic string theory where the associated rotating and charged black holes are described by the Kerr-Sen solution. We investigate the approximate final spins and quasinormal… Expand

Three Dimensional Black Hole in the Low Energy Heterotic String Theory
We study the BTZ black holes (2+1 dimensional space-time) in the low energy heterotic string theory (BTZ-Sen BH). This concept requires us to include a non-trivial dilaton $\phi$ and a 3-form \$Expand
Estimating the Final Spin of Binary Black Holes Merger in STU Supergravity
• Physics
• 2020
In this paper, we adopt the so-called Buonanno-Kidder-Lehner (BKL) recipe to estimate the final spin of a rotating binary black hole merger in STU supergravity. According to the BKL recipe, the finalExpand

Destroying Kerr-Sen black holes
By neglecting the self-force, self-energy, and radiative effects, it has been shown that an extremal or near-extremal Kerr-Newman black hole can turn into a naked singularity when it captures chargedExpand
