Seminar:- Tail of Gravitational Waves, Quasi-normal Modes
Quasi-normal modes(QNM) describe the return to equilibrium of a perturbed system, in particular the ring-down phase of a black hole merger. In this talk, the speaker will first review QNM of a Schwarzschild black hole. As a globally defined quantity, QNM is highly sensitive to global spacetime structure. For instance, placing a star far away from a black hole alters the QNM spectrum by a huge amount. The speaker and his research team will demonstrate analytically how to identify the QNM spectrum of a localized object from the global QNM. Finally, the speaker will mention some mysterious properties of black hole QNM spectrum in Einstein gravity.
