We have studied the quasinormal modes (QNMs) of a slowly rotating black hole with Lorentz-violating parameter in Einstein-bumblebee gravity. We analyse the slow rotation approximation of the rotating black hole in the Einstein-bumblebee gravity, and obtain the master equations for scalar perturbation, vector perturbation and axial gravitational perturbation, respectively. Using the matrix method and the continuous fraction method, we numerically calculate the QNM frequencies. In particular, for scalar field, it shows that the QNMs up to the second order of rotation parameter have higher accuracy. The numerical results show that, for both scalar and vector fields, the Lorentz-violating parameter has a significant effect on the imaginary part of the QNM frequencies, while having a relatively smaller impact on the real part of the QNM frequencies. But for axial gravitational perturbation, the effect of increasing the Lorentz-violating parameter $\ell$ is similar to that of increasing the rotation parameter $\tilde{a}$.

QNMs of slowly rotating Einstein–Bumblebee black hole

Imprints of dark matter on gravitational ringing of supermassive black holes

The ability of bumblebee gravity models to explain dark energy, which is the phenomenon responsible for the universe’s observed accelerated expansion, is one of their most significant applications. An effect that causes faster expansion can be linked to how much the Lorentz symmetry of our universe is violated. Moreover, since we do not know what generates dark energy, the bumblebee gravity theory seems highly plausible. By utilizing the physical changes happening around a rotating bumblebee black hole (RBBH), we aim to obtain more specific details about the bumblebee black hole’s spacetime and our universe. However, as researched in the literature, slow-spinning RBBH (SRBBH) spacetime, which has a higher accuracy, will be considered instead of general RBBH. To this end, we first employ the Rindler–Ishak method (RIM), which enables us to study how light is bent in the vicinity of a gravitational lens. We evaluate the deflection angle of null geodesics in the equatorial plane of the SRBBH spacetime. Then, we use astrophysical data to see the effect of the Lorentz symmetry breaking (LSB) parameter on the bending angle of light for numerous astrophysical stars and black holes. We also acquire the analytical greybody factors (GFs) and quasinormal modes (QNMs) of the SRBBH. Finally, we visualize and discuss the results obtained in the conclusion section.

Probing the Lorentz Invariance Violation via Gravitational Lensing and Analytical Eigenmodes of Perturbed Slowly Rotating Bumblebee Black Holes

Quasi-normal modes (QNMs) of a black hole (BH) are the eigen modes describing the dissipative oscillation of various ﬁelds in that spacetime, which can be intrinsically produced by the linear perturbation theory. With the discovery of the ﬁrst gravitational waves (GWs) event, GW150914, a new window into the universe has been opened, allowing for the detection of QNMs associated to the ringdown process, which will enable more accurate measurements of the BHs parameters as well as further testing of general relativity. This article discusses the linear perturbation theory of BHs and provides review of several QNMs calculation methods including the newly developed methods. We will also focus on the connection between QNMs and the detection of GWs as well as some recent advancements in this area.

Quasi Normal Modes of Black Holes and Detection in Ringdown Process

Black holes (BHs) exhibiting coordinate singularities but lacking essential singularities throughout the entire spacetime are referred to as regular black holes (RBHs). The initial formulation of RBHs was presented by Bardeen, who considered the Einstein equation coupled with a nonlinear electromagnetic field. In this study, we investigate the gravitational perturbations, including the axial and polar sectors, of the Bardeen (Anti-) de Sitter black holes. We derive the master equations with source terms for both axial and polar perturbations, and subsequently compute the quasinormal modes (QNMs) through numerical methods. For the Bardeen de Sitter black hole, we employ the 6th-order WKB approach. The numerical results reveal that the isospectrality is broken in this case. Conversely, for Bardeen Anti-de Sitter black holes, the QNM frequencies are calculated by using the HH method.

The Quasinormal Modes and Isospectrality of Bardeen (Anti-) de Sitter Black Holes

In this paper, the gauge choices in general spherically symmetric spacetimes have been explored. We construct the gauge invariant variables and the master equations for both the Detweiler easy gauge and the Regge-Wheeler gauge, respectively. The particular cases for $l=0,1$ are also been investigated. Our results provide analytical calculations of metric perturbation in general spherically symmetric spacetimes, which can be applied to various cases, including the Effective-One-Body problem. A simple example is presented to show how the metric perturbation components are related to the source perturbation terms.

Gauge invariant perturbations of general spherically symmetric spacetimes

In this paper, we present a black hole solution with a cosmological constant in the Scalar-Tensor-Vector Modiﬁed Gravity (MOG) theory, where the strength of the gravitational constant is determined by G = G N (1+ α ). We derive the master equations for gravito-electromagnetic perturbations and numerically solve for the Quasinormal Mode (QNM) spectrum and the ringdown waveforms. Our research results show that increasing the MOG parameter α leads to a decrease in both the real and imaginary parts of the QNM frequencies for electromagnetic and gravitational modes. Similarly, increasing the cosmological constant Λ also results in a decrease in both the real and imaginary parts of the QNM frequencies for these modes. These trends are observed when compared to standard Schwarzschild-de Sitter (S-dS) or MOG black holes, respectively. Meanwhile, the result indicates that in the MOG-de Sitter spacetime, the frequencies for electromagnetic and gravitational modes display isospectrality, and exhibit the same ringdown waveforms. Our ﬁndings have implications for the ringdown phase of mergers involving massive compact objects, which is of particular relevance given the recent detections of gravitational waves by LIGO.

In this paper, we present a black hole solution with a cosmological constant in the Scalar-Tensor-Vector Modified Gravity (MOG) theory, where the strength of the gravitational constant is determined by $G = G_\text{N}(1+\alpha)$. We derive the master equations for gravito-electromagnetic perturbations and numerically solve for the Quasinormal Mode (QNM) spectrum and the ringdown waveforms. Our research results show that increasing the MOG parameter $\alpha$ leads to a decrease in both the real and imaginary parts of the QNM frequencies for electromagnetic and gravitational modes. Similarly, increasing the cosmological constant $\Lambda$ also results in a decrease in both the real and imaginary parts of the QNM frequencies for these modes. These trends are observed when compared to standard Schwarzschild-de Sitter (S-dS) or MOG black holes, respectively.
