We present an analytic method for calculating the late-time tails of a linear scalar field outside a Kerr black hole. We give the asymptotic behavior at timelike infinity (for fixed $r$), at future null infinity, and along the event horizon…

We investigate the late-time tail behavior in gravitational waves from merging eccentric binary black holes (BBH) using black hole perturbation theory. For simplicity, we focus only on the dominant quadrupolar mode of the radiation. We…

We investigate the asymptotic tail behavior of massive scalar fields in Schwarzschild background. It is shown that the oscillatory tail of the scalar field has the decay rate of $t^{-5/6}$ at asymptotically late times, and the oscillation…

The motion of a small compact object in a curved background spacetime deviates from a geodesic due to the action of its own field, giving rise to a self-force. This self-force may be calculated by integrating the Green function for the wave…

Consider a spherically symmetric spacetime generated by a self-gravitating massless scalar field $\phi$ and let $\psi$ be a test (nonspherical) massless scalar field propagating on this dynamical background. Gundlach, Price, and Pullin…

The computation of the gravitational radiation emitted by a particle falling into a Schwarzschild black hole is a classic problem studied already in the 1970s. Here we present a detailed numerical analysis of the case of radial infall…

One of the most important characteristics of light in flat spacetime is that it satisfies Huygens' principle: Initial data for the vacuum Maxwell equations evolves sharply along null (and not timelike) geodesics. In flat spacetime, there…

An astrophysically realistic model of wave dynamics in black-hole spacetimes must involve a non-spherical background geometry with angular momentum. We consider the evolution of gravitational (and electromagnetic) perturbations in rotating…

We consider the time evolution of a scalar field propagating in Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime. At early times, the field behaves as if it were in pure Schwarzschild spacetime; the structure of spacetime far from the black hole has no…

We investigate how GWs pass through the spacetime of a Schwarzschild black hole using time-domain numerical simulations. Our work is based on the perturbed 3+1 Einstein's equations up to the linear order. We show explicitly that our…
