Using several approximations, we calculate an estimate of the gravitational radiation emitted when two equal mass black holes coalesce at the end of their binary inspiral. We find that about 1% of the mass energy of the pair will emerge as gravitational waves during the final ringdown and a negligible fraction of the angular momentum will be radiated.

  1. Black Hole Ringdown Nonlinearities in the Large-D Limit

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    In the large-D limit, analytic third-order nonlinear corrections to quasinormal modes improve ringdown modeling accuracy by several orders of magnitude for head-on black hole collisions.
