abstract
We present a new method for determining the frequencies and wavefunctions of black hole quasinormal modes (QNMs) and Regge poles. The key idea is a novel ansatz for the wavefunction, which relates the high-$l$ wavefunctions to null geodesics which start at infinity and end in perpetual orbit on the photon sphere. Our ansatz leads naturally to the expansion of QNMs in inverse powers of angular momentum $L = l + 1/2$ (in 4D), and to the expansion of Regge poles in inverse powers of frequency. The expansions can be taken to high orders. We begin by applying the method to the Schwarzschild spacetime, and validate our results against existing numerical and WKB methods. Next, we generalise the method to treat static spherically-symmetric spacetimes of arbitrary spatial dimension. We confirm that, at lowest order, the real and imaginary components of the QNM frequency are related to the orbital frequency and the Lyapunov exponent for geodesics at the unstable orbit. We apply the method to five spacetimes of current interest, and conclude with a discussion of the advantages and limitations of the new approach, and its practical applications.

Dynamical system approach to the spectral (in)stability of black holes under localised potential perturbations
Black-hole resonances migrate along complex-plane flow lines toward hard-wall attractors, and repellers near the unperturbed modes explain why perturbation theory fails so early.

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

Eikonal Quality-Factor Parameterization of Model-Conditional Static Black-Hole Thermodynamics
A quasinormal frequency ratio can invert a one-parameter black-hole family, and RN and static MOG are exactly isospectral for neutral test scalars with different Wald entropies.
