Search for gravitational wave ringdowns from perturbed black holes in LIGO S4 data

According to general relativity a perturbed black hole will settle to a stationary configuration by the emission of gravitational radiation. Such a perturbation will occur, for example, in the coalescence of a black hole binary, following their inspiral and subsequent merger. At late times the wavef...
