[astroseminar at Sapienza] Gravity theory webinar: Wednesday July 14th @4pm: Maria Okounkova (Flatiron Institute, USA) - Binary Black Hole Mergers beyond General Relativity

[Paolo Pani]

Announcement of the next gravity-theory webinar (last one before the summer
break):

Speaker: *Maria Okounkova (Flatiron Institute, USA*)
Title: *Binary Black Hole Mergers beyond General Relativity*
Date:* Wednesday, July 14th @ 4pm CEST*

Abstract:
*At some length scale, Einstein's theory of general relativity (GR) must
break down and be reconciled with quantum mechanics in a quantum theory of
gravity. Binary black hole mergers probe the strong field, non-linear,
highly dynamical regime of gravity, and thus gravitational waves from these
systems could contain beyond-GR signatures. While LIGO presently performs
model-independent and parametrized tests of GR, in order to perform
model-dependent tests, we must have access to numerical relativity binary
black hole waveform predictions in beyond-GR theories through full
inspiral, merger, and ringdown. In this talk, I will discuss our results in
producing full numerical relativity waveforms in beyond-GR theories,
including dynamical Chern-Simons gravity and Einstein dilaton Gauss-Bonnet
gravity.*
