Gravitational Wave Perturbations on a Kerr Background and Applications for Echoes

Abstract

Gravitational wave echoes may imply physics beyond general relativity; however, several approaches to searching for echoes require fitting the data to toy templates which are not physically motivated. Here, I create a procedure which outputs a more realistic form for echoes, starting from initial conditions, by calculating the modulated transfer function.
