We compute numerically the quasinormal modes of Kerr-Newman black holes in the scalar case, for which the perturbation equations are separable. Then we study different approximations to decouple electromagnetic and gravitational perturbations of the Kerr-Newman metric, computing the corresponding quasinormal modes. Our results suggest that the Teukolsky-like equation derived by Dudley and Finley gives a good approximation to the dynamics of a rotating charged black hole for Q<M/2. Though insufficient to deal with Kerr-Newman based models of elementary particles, the Dudley-Finley equation should be adequate for astrophysical applications.

  1. Topological charge and black hole photon spheres in massive gravity

    gr-qc 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    In dRGT massive gravity, static spherically symmetric black holes exhibit zero, one, or two photon spheres whose topological charges and stability patterns differ from Einstein gravity and from horizonless compact objects.

  2. Ringdown waves from hairy black holes

    gr-qc 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Ringdown frequency and damping shifts of Schwarzschild/Kerr black holes are expressed through the density and anisotropic pressures of the surrounding matter, giving a perturbative map from hairy-black-hole models to ...

  3. Black Hole Mergers as the Fastest Photon Ring Scramblers

    gr-qc 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Merger remnant mass and spin are claimed to maximize the average Lyapunov exponent of the photon shell of an effective Kerr black hole, matching numerical relativity fits within a few percent for q ≲ 20.

  4. The relativistic restricted three-body problem: geometry and motion around tidally perturbed black holes

    gr-qc 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Increasing tidal deformation around a black hole drives bound geodesics through weak chaos, plunging, unbinding, and eventual depletion of all bound motion, with semi-analytic critical amplitudes for each transition.

  5. Tidal perturbations of an extreme mass ratio inspiral around a Kerr black hole

    gr-qc 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A closed-form Kerr metric under slow quadrupolar tides yields spin-dependent tidal shifts of the ISCO and light ring, with larger shifts for retrograde orbits around fast-spinning holes.

  6. Test-Field vs Physical Quasi-Normal Modes in Scalar-Tensor Theories

    gr-qc 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Test-field QNM spectra of BCL black holes deviate strongly from physical axial gravitational QNM spectra at high overtones, while fundamental modes remain close.

  7. Exceptional lines in the Kerr-Newman black hole spectrum

    gr-qc 2026-07 accept novelty 5.5 of 10

    Near-extremal Kerr-Newman black holes host exceptional lines of degenerate (ℓ,m)=(1,1) scalar overtones that induce spectral permutations and link to zero-damping/damped mode branching.

  8. Quasinormal modes of Kerr-Newman black holes: revisiting the Dudley-Finley approximation

    gr-qc 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Reassessment of the Dudley-Finley decoupling approximation for Kerr-Newman quasinormal modes with direct comparisons to the coupled system and new analysis of near-extremal zero-damped modes.

  9. Extreme mass-ratio inspirals and extra dimensions: Insights from modified Teukolsky framework

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A modified Teukolsky equation and the Dudley-Finley approximation give nearly the same LISA detectability bound for the braneworld tidal charge, with MTE mismatches growing faster for high-eccentricity EMRIs.

  10. Axial quasi-normal modes of slowly rotating black holes in dynamical Chern-Simons gravity to second-order in spin and coupling

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    For the n=0, l=m=2 axial ringdown mode, dynamical Chern-Simons gravity lowers the frequency and shortens the damping time, and the paper gives a polynomial fit for these shifts.
