MPI for Gravitational Physics<p>August Muller is a Fulbright research fellow in the “Astrophysical and Cosmological Relativity” department, working with Dr. Elisa Maggio.</p><p>She investigates how the upcoming <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://astrodon.social/@LISA" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>LISA</span></a></span> gravitational-wave observatory can be used to test general relativity. LISA will see the first gravitational-wave signals from merging supermassive black holes, including the ringdown phase of the signal which is produced after the two black holes have already merged. Her research investigates how this ringdown signal may differ if the two black holes merge into an exotic object rather than a black hole in general relativity, in order to determine how well LISA will be able to distinguish these post-merger objects.</p><p>ℹ️ <a href="https://www.aei.mpg.de/1220257/august-muller" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">aei.mpg.de/1220257/august-mull</span><span class="invisible">er</span></a></p><p><a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/IDWGS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IDWGS</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/WomenInSTEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomenInSTEM</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/WomenInScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomenInScience</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Physics</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Fulbright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fulbright</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/ResearchFellow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ResearchFellow</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Relativity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Relativity</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Gravity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gravity</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/GravitationalWaves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GravitationalWaves</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/BlackHoles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackHoles</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Research</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Potsdam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Potsdam</span></a></p>
