Exact Solutions of Regge-Wheeler Equation and Quasi-Normal Modes of Compact Objects
arXiv:gr-qc/0509123 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/23/7/015
Abstract
The well-known Regge-Wheeler equation describes the axial perturbations of Schwarzschild metric in the linear approximation. From a mathematical point of view it presents a particular case of the confluent Heun equation and can be solved exactly, due to recent mathematical developments. We present the basic properties of its general solution. A novel analytical approach and numerical techniques for study the boundary problems which correspond to quasi-normal modes of black holes and other simple models of compact objects are developed.
