String memories ... lost and regained

We discuss stringy α′ corrections to the gravitational wave signal generated in the merging of two black holes. We model the merging with two BPS compact massive objects in the heterotic string, described by standard vertex operators or coherent states. Despite the expected cubic suppression in α′ w...
