We carry out a multi-spin perturbation-theory study of the four-dimensional Einstein-Skyrme (ES) anti-de Sitter (AdS) black hole (BH), whose lapse $f(r)=1-8\pi K-2M/r+4\pi K\lambda/r^{2}$ inherits two couplings from the hadronic model --…
Gravitational waves from comparable-mass binary-black-hole mergers are often described in terms of three stages: inspiral, merger and ringdown. Post-Newtonian and black-hole perturbation theories are used to model the inspiral and ringdown…
A gravitational wave (GW) signal carries imprints of the properties of its source. The ability to extract source properties crucially depends on our prior knowledge of the signal morphology. Even though binary black hole (BBH) mergers are…
