abstract

The detection of gravitational waves resulting by the LIGO-Virgo-Kagra collaboration has inaugurated a new era in gravitational physics, providing an opportunity to test general relativity and its modifications in the strong gravity regime. One such test involves the study of the ringdown phase of gravitational waves from binary black-hole coalescence, which can be decomposed into a superposition of quasinormal modes. In general relativity, the spectra of quasinormal modes depend on the mass, spin, and charge of the final black hole, but they can be influenced by additional properties of the black hole, as well as corrections to general relativity. In this work, we employ the modified Teukolsky formalism developed in a previous study to investigate perturbations of slowly rotating black holes in a modified theory known as dynamical Chern-Simons gravity. Specifically, we derive the master equations for the $\Psi_0$ and $\Psi_4$ Weyl scalar perturbations that characterize the radiative part of gravitational perturbations, as well as for the scalar field perturbations. We employ metric reconstruction techniques to obtain explicit expressions for all relevant quantities. Finally, by leveraging the properties of spin-weighted spheroidal harmonics to eliminate the angular dependence from the evolution equations, we derive two, radial, second-order, ordinary differential equations for $\Psi_0$ and $\Psi_4$, respectively. These equations are coupled to another radial, second-order, ordinary differential equation for the scalar field perturbations. This work is the first attempt to derive a master equation for black holes in dynamical Chern-Simons gravity using curvature perturbations. The master equations can be numerically integrated to obtain the quasinormal mode spectrum of slowly rotating black holes in this theory, making progress in the study of ringdown in dynamical Chern-Simons gravity.
