Abstract

Recently, Contreras et al. [Phys. Rev. D 103, 044020 (2021)] introduced a new type of black hole, called the hairy Kerr black hole (HKBH), which describes a Kerr BH surrounded by an axially symmetric fluid with conserved energy momentum tensor. In this paper, we compute the gravitational waves emitted from the extreme mass ratio inspirals around the HKBHs. We solve the Dudley-Finley equation, which describes the gravitational perturbations of the HKBH, and obtain the energy fluxes induced by a stellar-mass compact object moving on the equatorial, circular orbits. Using the adiabatic approximation, we evolved the radii of the circular orbits by taking into account the backreaction of gravitational radiation. Then we calculate the dephasing and mismatch of the extreme-mass-ratio inspiral (EMRI) waveforms from the HKBH and Kerr BH to assess the difference between them. The results demonstrate that the EMRI waveforms from the HKBH with deviation parameter larger than 0.001 and hair charge smaller than $1.5M$ can be discerned by LISA.
