More Quasi Than Normal!

Can Oscillations of Relativistic Stars and Black Holes be Observable with Future Gravitational — Wave Detectors

Abstract

It is a great pleasure for me to contribute to this Festschrift in Vishu’s honour. I met him in 1987 as I started my postgraduate studies in Uppsala, Sweden. Or more precisely, that was when I first encountered his name. As I took my first stumbling steps along the road of research I came upon a paper in Nature, where Vishu described his discovery of what we now call the quasi-normal modes of a black hole. I still remember digesting every single word of that paper, hoping that somehow I could unlock its secrets by staring at the printed words. Sadly, this approach failed miserably.
