Modeling the Dynamics of Black Hole Systems and the Ringdown of Black Hole Spacetimes

Fortunately, by the time Advanced LIGO-Virgo started observing gravitational waves from merging black holes in 2015, theoretical models had already been developed which would greatly contribute to the interpretation of that data. Thanks to numerical relativity, the merger of isolated near-equal mass...
