Testing the black hole no-hair theorem using LIGO extreme mass
... • EMRI observations actually test whether an observed inspiral is described by an inspiral into a Kerr black hole. If it is not, there could be several reasons – Astrophysical “hair”. The presence of other material, e.g., an accretion disc, could change the multipole structure of the system. – The c ...

... star spends ~80% of its lifetime on the main sequence. During this time it is stable as the gravitational forces that enable hydrogen burning balance and pull the star in, balance with the gas pressure pushing out. This is much like the gas pressure inside a balloon balancing with the tension in ...

... • When fuel runs out, it becomes a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole. • Small and medium stars become red giants and then white dwarfs. These are the size of the Earth but have the mass of the sun, so it is very dense. A spoonful of white dwarf is equal to a truckload of earth. It has no fuel ...

... Even with such long arms, strongest gravitational waves will only change distance between ends of the arms by at most roughly 10−18 meters. LIGO should be able to detect gravitational waves as small as h ∼ 5 × 10−22. Upgrades to LIGO and other detectors such as Virgo, GEO 600, and TAMA 300 increase ...
