Repeated ringing of black holes: Quasinormal bursts from highly eccentric, extreme mass-ratio binaries

Recent studies of scalar and gravitational waveforms from high-eccentricity, extreme mass-ratio black-hole binaries show the presence of quasinormal bursts (QNBs), lingering high-frequency decaying oscillations (also known as “wiggles”), soon after each periapsis passage. One puzzle associated with...
