In the coming decade, gravitational waves will convert the study of general relativistic aspects of black holes and stars from a largely theoretical enterprise to a highly interactive, observational/theoretical one. For example, gravitational-wave observations should enable us to observationally map the spacetime geometries around quiescient black holes, study quantitatively the highly nonlinear vibrations of curved spacetime in black-hole collisions, probe the structures of neutron stars and their equation of state, search for exotic types of general relativistic objects such as boson stars, soliton stars, and naked singularities, and probe aspects of general relativity that have never yet been seen such as the gravitational fields of gravitons and the influence of gravitational-wave tails on radiation reaction.
