After black holes collide, the remnant settles to a stationary state by emitting gravitational waves. Once non-linearities subside, these ringdown waves are dominated by exponentially-damped sinusoids, or quasinormal modes. We develop a general method using perturbative spectral expansions to calculate the quasinormal-mode frequencies and damping times in a wide class of modified gravity theories for black holes with any subextremal spin. We apply this method to scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity to show its accuracy, thus enabling robust ringdown tests with gravitational wave data.

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    A bilinear-form framework computes black-hole quasinormal-mode frequency shifts to any order, but the mode-sum expansion of the first-order mode shift diverges and needs a continuum piece.
