Title: Crashing black holes and poking at their merger remnants
Abstract: Gravitational wave detection from binary black hole mergers has (almost!) become routine. General relativity reigns supreme and superbly explains gravitational signals from inspiral to ringdown. One of the last strongholds for alternative theories lies in the higher frequencies (overtones) of the ringdown. I will talk about prospects for the detection of multiple modes in the ringdown with current and future instruments.
