Quasinormal ringing of Kerr black holes. II. Excitation by particles falling radially with arbitrary energy
read the original abstract
The analytical understanding of quasinormal mode ringing requires an accurate knowledge of the Green's function describing the response of the black hole to external perturbations. We carry out a comprehensive study of quasinormal mode excitation for Kerr black holes. Relying on the formalism developed by Mano, Suzuki and Takasugi, we improve and extend previous calculations of the quasinormal mode residues in the complex frequency plane ("excitation factors" B_q). Using these results we compute the "excitation coefficients" C_q (essentially the mode amplitudes) in the special case where the source of the perturbations is a particle falling into the black hole along the symmetry axis. We compare this calculation with numerical integrations of the perturbation equations, and we show quantitatively how the addition of higher overtones improves the agreement with the numerical waveforms. Our results should find applications in models of the ringdown stage and in the construction of semianalytical template banks for gravitational-wave detectors, especially for binaries with large mass ratios and/or fast-spinning black holes.

Vanishing of all redshift modes in Schwarzschild ringdown
All redshift-mode contributions to Schwarzschild black-hole ringdown waveforms vanish exactly because causality forces the source-integrated Green function to vanish on the light cone.

Spectral suppression of black hole ringdown tails
Spectral properties of oscillatory sources suppress the branch-cut contribution to black hole ringdown tails, explaining their absence in quasi-circular mergers.

Shaping black hole resonances I. Black hole ringdown as a spectral filtering process
Quasinormal mode excitation in black hole ringdown equals the Fourier transform of the perturbation evaluated at the mode frequency, so black holes act as resonant spectral filters.
