A classical black hole is characterized by a horizon that absorbs radiation of all frequencies incident on it. Perturbation of these black holes is well-understood via exponentially damped sinusoids known as quasi-normal modes. Any…
Although spinning black holes are shown to be stable in vacuum in general relativity, there exists exotic mechanisms that can convert the spin energy of black holes into gravitational waves. Such waves may be very weak in amplitude, since…

We extend the treatment of the problem of the gravitational waves produced by a particle of negligible mass orbiting a Kerr black hole using black hole perturbation theory in the time domain, to elliptic and inclined orbits. We model the…
Gravitational wave (GW) ringdown waveforms may contain "echoes" that encode new physics in the strong gravity regime. It is commonly assumed that the new physics gives rise to the GW echoes whose intervals are constant. We point out that…
We derive a relativistic field equation for the trace of the metric perturbation beyond the weak field approximation to the Einstein field equations. The dynamics is governed by a massive Klein-Gordon equation on curved space-time, where…
We propose that a quantum black hole can produce a new kind of late-time gravitational echoes, facilitated by a near-horizon process analogous to Andreev reflection in condensed matter systems. In comparison to the traditional echo…
