Electromagnetic Signatures of Strong Field Gravity Around Black Holes in Galactic Nuclei
Avi Loeb

Abstract:
I will describe generic electromagnetic signatures of the theory of
gravity in the strong field regime. They include direct images of the
silhouette of nearby black holes (SgrA* and M87) as well as signals
associated with the coalescence of black hole binaries at cosmological
distances.
