Maxwell's equations are invariant under both duality rotations and conformal transformations. Recently Bandos, Lechner, Sorokin, and Townsend have found a nonlinear generalisation of electrodynamics which possesses both of these symmetries.…
The modeling of gravitational wave ringdown has traditionally relied on linear perturbation theory, which mainly describes the late-time behavior of a perturbed black hole after a binary merger. However, the need for more accurate ringdown…
We demonstrate that evolutions of three-dimensional, strongly non-linear gravitational waves can be followed in numerical relativity, hence allowing many interesting studies of both fundamental and observational consequences. We study the…
The article deals with the gravitational energy associated with axial perturbations of regular black holes. We review the stability of the geometry under odd-parity perturbations and the corresponding quasinormal modes, previously obtained…
A distorted black hole radiates gravitational waves in order to settle down in a smoother geometry. During that relaxation phase, a characteristic damped ringing is generated. It can be theoretically constructed from both the black hole…
In rotating viscous fluid stars, tidal torque leads to an exchange of spin and orbital angular momentum. The horizon of a black hole has an effective viscosity that is large compared to that of stellar fluids, and an effective tidal torque…
In the inner-most regions of radiation pressure supported accretion disks, the turbulent magnetic pressure may greatly exceed that of the gas. If this is the case, it is possible for bulk Alfvenic motions driven by the magnetorotational…
Gravitational waves open the possibility to investigate the nature of compact objects and probe the horizons of black holes. Some models of modified gravity predict the presence of horizonless and singularity-free compact objects. Such dark…
Given the absence of observations of black hole binaries, it is critical that the full range of accessible parameter space be explored in anticipation of future observation with gravitational wave detectors. To this end, we compile the…
Generic black hole binaries radiate gravitational waves anisotropically, imparting a recoil, or kick, velocity to the merger remnant. If a component of the kick along the line of sight is present, gravitational waves emitted during the…
We present a Kerr-Newman type stationary and axisymmetric solution that describes rotating black holes with a tidal charge in the Randall-Sundrum braneworld. The tidal charge appears as an imprint of nonlocal gravitational effects from the…
Perturbations form an important section of black hole analyses. This paper deals with the effect of perturbations as in the delineation of waves that occur. It makes use of the spin coefficients from [3] to represent the general equations…
Zoom-whirl behavior has the reputation of being a rare phenomenon. The concern has been that gravitational radiation would drain angular momentum so rapidly that generic orbits would circularize before zoom-whirl behavior could play out,…
Spin precession occurs in binary black holes whose spins are misaligned with the orbital angular momentum. Otherwise, the spin configuration is constant and the subsequent binary dynamics and gravitational-wave emission are much simpler. We…
Black holes can be electromagnetically charged, or carry vector charge from new fundamental fields. Their response to small fluctuations is of paramount importance to study gravitational wave generation. However, the usual even and odd…
A distorted black hole radiates gravitational waves in order to settle down in one of the geometries permitted by the no-hair theorem. During that relaxation phase, a characteristic damped ringing is generated. It can be theoretically…
The recent detections of gravitational waves from binary systems of black holes are in remarkable agreement with the predictions of General Relativity. In this pedagogical mini-review, I will go through the physics of the different phases…
The formation and growth of black holes can strongly influence the distribution of dark matter around them. I discuss here the different types of dark matter overdensities around black holes, including dark matter cusps, spikes, mounds,…
Black holes found in binaries move at very high velocities relative to our own reference frame and can accelerate due to the emission of gravitational radiation. Here, we investigate the numerical stability and late-time behavior of linear…
Several general arguments indicate that the event horizon behaves as a stretched membrane. We propose using this relation to understand gravity and dynamics of black objects in higher dimensions. We provide evidence that (i) the…
