Bardeen's 1968 idea of a regular black hole spacetime was revived by Hayward in 2006 through the construction of a new example of such a geometry. Later it was realised by Neves and Saa, that a wider, two-parameter class exists, with Bardeen and Hayward spacetimes as special cases. In this article, we revisit and generalise the Hayward spacetime by applying the Damour-Solodukhin (DS) prescription. Recalling the DS suggestion of a deformed Schwarzschild spacetime where $g_{tt} = -\left (1-\frac{2M_1}{r}\right )$, $g_{rr} = \left (1-\frac{2M_2}{r}\right )^{-1}$ and $M_1\neq M_2$, we propose a similar deformation of the Hayward geometry. The $g_{tt}$ and $g_{rr}$ in the original Hayward line element remain functionally the same, {\em albeit} mutations introduced via differently valued metric parameters, following the DS idea. This results in a plethora of spacetime geometries, known as well as new, and including singular black holes, wormholes or regular black holes. We first study the geometric features and matter content of each of such spacetimes in some detail. Subsequently, we find the scalar quasinormal modes corresponding to scalar wave propagation in these geometries. We investigate how the real and imaginary parts of the quasinormal modes depend on the values and ranges of the metric parameters used to classify the geometries. Finally, we argue how our results on this family of spacetimes suggest their utility as black hole mimickers.

  1. Bardeen spacetime as quantum corrected black hole: Grey-body factors and quasinormal modes of gravitational perturbations

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Increasing the quantum-correction scale in Bardeen spacetime raises quasinormal frequencies, slows decay, suppresses low-frequency transmission, and reorganizes absorption cross-sections.

  2. Scalar, electromagnetic, and Dirac perturbations of regular black holes constituting primordial dark matter

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Larger DBI regularity scale in an asymptotically flat regular black hole shifts quasinormal frequencies and damping rates downward with only weak change in quality factor, above numerical uncertainty.

  3. Grey-body factors of higher dimensional regular black holes in quasi-topological theories

    gr-qc 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Higher dimensional regular black holes in quasi-topological gravity have suppressed grey-body factors and Hawking radiation compared to singular black holes in general relativity.

  4. Light Rings, Accretion Disks and Shadows of Hayward Boson Stars

    gr-qc 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Numerical construction of Hayward boson stars shows that frozen states produce Schwarzschild-like shadows with no extra photon rings while non-frozen states show multiple photon rings inside the shadow.

  5. Wave and particle probes of a regular T-duality-inspired black hole with gravitational self-energy

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0

    Increasing zero-point length makes photon and ISCO orbits more compact in ADM units while heavier scalars raise oscillation frequency and suppress damping on this regular self-energy black hole.

  6. Hawking Radiation from the Dymnikova Regular Black Hole

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Numerical greybody factors for the Dymnikova black hole show temperature-driven luminosity suppression near the extremal remnant, with increasing fermion dominance in the residual massless flux.

  7. Topological Thermodynamics of Generalized Bardeen Black Hole

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Generalized Bardeen black holes show two topological defects of opposite winding numbers yielding zero total charge in their thermodynamic vector field, unlike Schwarzschild's single unstable branch, with regularizati...

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Massive scalar quasinormal modes in this DBI-supported regular black hole show higher oscillation frequencies and lower damping as field mass increases, with larger regularity scales producing softer and longer-lived ringing.

  9. Scalar, electromagnetic, and Dirac perturbations of regular black holes constituting primordial dark matter

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Larger DBI regularity in this regular black hole model reduces quasinormal frequencies and damping rates for scalar, electromagnetic, and Dirac perturbations while the quality factor stays nearly constant, producing a...
