Quasinormal modes (QNMs) of black holes can exhibit avoided crossings (ACs), in which specific QNM frequencies approach each other while their amplitudes are enhanced and acquire nearly opposite phases, leading to characteristic…

In general relativity, when two black holes merge they produce a rotating (Kerr) black hole remnant. According to perturbation theory, the remnant emits "ringdown" radiation: a superposition of exponentials with characteristic complex…
Gravitational waves provide direct information about the nature of spacetime and the existence of black holes. The remnant of a binary black hole merger emits gravitational waves in the form of quasinormal modes, whose spectrum is known as…
