Retesting the no-hair theorem with GW150914

Abstract For a distorted black hole (BH), its ringdown waveform is a superposition of quasi-normal modes (QNMs). In general relativity (GR), the lower order QNM frequencies and damping rates can be well approximated by a polynomial of BH’s dimensionless spin and overall scaled by BH’s mass. That is...
