The existence of black hole horizons has not been strictly proven observationally, and indeed it may not be possible to do so. However, alternatives may be established by the observation of gravitational wave echoes that probe possible…

It was pointed out that the black hole quasinormal modes resulting from a piecewise approximate potential are drastically distinct from those pertaining to the original black hole metric. In particular, instead of lining up parallel to the…
