Scalar and axial quasinormal modes of massive static phantom wormholes

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2018-08-29 v1

Abstract

We study the quasinormal modes for scalar, axial and radial perturbations of massive static spherically symmetric wormholes supported by a phantom scalar field, calculating the modes directly and employing the WKB approximation. The spectrum of the quasinormal modes is compared with the spectrum of Schwarzschild black holes. For fixed multipole number ll and large mass MM the wormhole modes approach their black hole counterparts as 1/M1/M.
