The theory of gauge-invariant non-spherical metric perturbations of Schwarzschild black hole spacetimes is now well established. Yet, as different notations and conventions have been used throughout the years, the literature on the subject is often confusing and sometimes confused. The purpose of this paper is to review and collect the relevant expressions related to the Regge-Wheeler and Zerilli equations for the odd and even-parity perturbations of a Schwarzschild spacetime. Special attention is paid to the form they assume in the presence of matter-sources and, for the two most popular conventions in the literature, to the asymptotic expressions and gravitational-wave amplitudes. Besides pointing out some inconsistencies in the literature, the expressions collected here could serve as a quick reference for the calculation of the perturbations of Schwarzschild black hole spacetimes driven by generic sources and for those approaches in which gravitational waves are extracted from numerically generated spacetimes.

  1. Matching Tidal Deformability (Wilson) Coefficients to Black Hole Love Numbers in Higher-Curvature Gravity

    gr-qc 2026-04 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Wilson coefficients in higher-curvature EFTs equal point-particle counterterms plus finite-size Love-number pieces; standard GR matching fails and is corrected for cubic gravity.

  2. Gravitational waves in massive gravity: Waveforms generated by a particle plunging into a black hole and the excitation of quasinormal modes and quasibound states

    gr-qc 2024-11 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    A plunging particle around a Schwarzschild black hole in massive gravity excites quasibound states, with a claimed harmonic resonance amplifying the even-parity dipole mode.

  3. Analysis of late-time tails in spin-aligned eccentric binary black hole mergers

    gr-qc 2025-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Late-time gravitational-wave tails from eccentric, spin-aligned black hole mergers decay as t^-(l+4) for psi4 in all six modes studied, with same-l modes sharing identical exponents.

  4. Perturbations of Black Holes Surrounded by Anisotropic Matter Field

    gr-qc 2024-11 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    For a black hole with anisotropic matter hair, quasinormal mode frequencies shift monotonically with the matter strength K, and the shift also appears in shadow radius and grey-body factors.
