Quasinormal modes of gravitational perturbation for uniformly accelerated black holes

Published 3 Feb 2024 in gr-qc | (2402.02027v2)

Abstract: We first show that the master equations for massless perturbations of accelerating rotating black holes can be transformed into the Heun's equation. The quasinormal modes of the black holes can be easily calculated in the framework of the Heun's equation. We identify three modes for the tensor perturbations: the photon sphere modes, which reduce to the quasinormal modes of Kerr black holes when the acceleration parameter vanishes; the near-extremal modes, which branch from the first set and become dominant when the spin is near extremal; and the acceleration modes, which are closely related to the acceleration horizon. We calculate the frequency spectrum of the QNMs in various spin and acceleration parameters. We choose an angular boundary condition that keeps the angular function regular at $ \theta = 0 $ and $\pi$, which is consistent with the boundary condition of the Kerr black hole. The conical singularity caused by the acceleration influences this boundary condition. We find that the $m_0 = 1$ modes have an anomalous behavior at particular accelerations.
