Abstract:
Since 2015, around 100 binary black-hole mergers have been detected by laser interferometer gravitational-wave detectors. Recently, the LIGO-VIRGO-KAGRA collaboration has started the O4 operation, with newly improved sensitivity thanks to quantum metrology techniques like frequency-dependent squeezing. Gravitational-wave observations allows us to make precision tests of general relativity, and confirm interesting predictions of general relativity in the strong-gravity regime. I will give an overview of such studies, and then focus on the oscillations of black holes.
