Relating black hole shadow to quasinormal modes for rotating black holes
Huan Yang
Abstract
This work explores the connection between two attributes of black holes currently of intense interest, namely their shadows and their quasinormal modes. It establishes a mapping between the shadow of a Kerr black hole and a family of its quasinormal modes within a certain range of its parameters and discusses the possibility of testing the map with space based gravitational wave detectors and the next generation Event Horizon telescope.
