Beyond black hole spectroscopy: Quasinormal mode contamination by massless scalars
In shift-symmetric Horndeski gravity, scalar field QNM contamination of black hole ringdowns appears at the same perturbative order as frequency shifts, and can dominate them if scalar amplitude suppression is relaxed.
