The dynamics of rotating black holes

The dynamics of rotating black holes
The dynamics of rotating black holes
After an introductory overview of standard results for perturbed black holes (regarding quasinormal modes and power-law tails) we focus on three issues of recent interest. We discuss the possibility that the new generation of gravitational-wave detectors that are due to come online in the near future will be able to do “black-hole spectroscopy” by inferring black-hole parameters from quasinormal-mode signals. We summarise the recent effort to study perturbation of Kerr black holes using time-evolutions of the Teukolsky equation, and finally we present recent results that seem to indicate the existence of a new superradiance related phenomenon for rapidly spinning black holes.

Abstract

After an introductory overview of standard results for perturbed black holes (regarding quasinormal modes and power-law tails) we focus on three issues of recent interest. We discuss the possibility that the new generation of gravitational-wave detectors that are due to come online in the near future will be able to do “black-hole spectroscopy” by inferring black-hole parameters from quasinormal-mode signals. We summarise the recent effort to study perturbation of Kerr black holes using time-evolutions of the Teukolsky equation, and finally we present recent results that seem to indicate the existence of a new superradiance related phenomenon for rapidly spinning black holes.
