Comparing numerical and analytical calculations of post-ISCO ringdown amplitudes
arXiv:1105.3861 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.84.047501
Abstract
We numerically compute the ringdown amplitudes following the plunge of a particle from the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) of a Schwarzschild black hole in the extreme-mass ratio limit. We show that the ringdown amplitudes computed in this way are in good agreement with a recent analytical calculation arXiv:0911.3899.
