A particle of mass $\mu$ moves on a circular orbit of a nonrotating black hole of mass $M$. Under the restrictions $\mu/M \ll 1$ and $v \ll 1$, where $v$ is the orbital velocity, we consider the gravitational waves emitted by such a binary…
We present results for two colliding black holes (BHs), with angular momentum, spin, and unequal mass. For the first time gravitational waveforms are computed for a grazing collision from a full 3D numerical evolution. The collision can be…
After black holes collide, the remnant settles to a stationary state by emitting gravitational waves. Once non-linearities subside, these ringdown waves are dominated by exponentially-damped sinusoids, or quasinormal modes. We develop a…
We define the notion of energy, and compute its values, for gravitational systems involving terms quadratic in curvature. While our construction parallels that of ordinary Einstein gravity, there are significant differences both…
We discuss a novel mechanism to generate gravitational waves in the early universe. A standard way to produce primordial black holes is to enhance at small-scales the overdensity perturbations generated during inflation. The latter, upon…
This paper reviews gravitational wave sources and their detection. One of the most exciting potential sources of gravitational waves are coalescing binary black hole systems. They can occur on all mass scales and be formed in numerous ways,…
The computation of gravitational wave scattering on black hole spacetimes is an extremely hard problem, typically requiring approximation schemes that either treat the black hole perturbatively or are only amenable to numerical techniques.…
Gravitational waves emitted by distorted black holes---such as those arising from the coalescence of two neutron stars or black holes---carry not only information about the corresponding spacetime but also about the underlying theory of…
Ten short years ago, we had the rare privilege of witnessing the onset of a renaissance in science: humanity finally succeeded in its arduous quest to directly detect gravitational waves. This breakthrough did not occur in a vacuum: it was…
Some years ago, a new powerful technique, known as the Classical Effective Field Theory, was proposed to describe classical phenomena in gravitational systems. Here we show how this approach can be useful to investigate theoretically…
The perturbation theory of black holes has been useful recently for providing estimates of gravitational radiation from black hole collisions. Second order perturbation theory, relatively undeveloped until recently, has proved to be…
We compute the gravitational waveform associated with a radially infalling particle in a Schwarzschild black hole working in the center-of-mass system and in a post-Newtonian (PN) approximation. Our results reach the highest accuracy level…
Using perturbative expansion in terms of powers of the rotation parameter $a$ we construct the axisymmetric and asymptotically flat black-hole metric in the $D$-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory. In five-dimensional spacetime we find…

We consider the emission of gravitational waves in the two proposed models for the collapse of a massive star to a black hole: the prompt collapse, in which nearly all the star collapses to a black hole in a dynamical time scale, and the…
