Chaos and fractals of the black hole photon ring
The photon ring of a Kerr black hole decomposes into a self-similar hierarchy of subrings. Here, we show that this self-similar structure persists in pha...

Parameter matching between horizon quasi-local and point-particle definitions at 1PN for quasi-circular and non spinning BBH systems in harmonic gauge
We investigate how commonly used parameter definitions in Post-Newtonian (PN) theory compare with those from Numerical Relativity (NR) for binary black h...
Black hole spectroscopy: from theory to experiment
The ‘ringdown’ radiation emitted by oscillating black holes has great scientific potential. By carefully predicting the frequencies and amplitudes of bla...
