Searches for Gravitational Waves from Perturbed Black Holes in Data from LIGO Detectors
Black hole perturbation theory predicts that a perturbed black hole will emit gravitational waves in a superposition of quasi-normal modes. Various astrophysical processes can produce such a black hole including the merger of two compact binary neutron stars or black holes. The final form of the wav...
