Looking for Black Hole Morsels in Astrophysical Mergers via Hawking Radiation

Understand

Gravitational wave observation has provided numerous insights into the merger of astrophysical black holes.

• In contrast to other violent events (e.g.
• supernovae), they are, however, not expected to lead to significant emissions of photons and neutrinos.
• In this paper we discuss a scenario that would lead to characteristic observable gamma ray bursts, which would provide numerous hints to physics beyond General Relativity.
