Key Points

  • To derive analytic expressions for metric and vector potential perturbations in a Kerr black hole using the Teukolsky equations.
  • Utilized factorized Green's functions alongside the inhomogeneous Teukolsky equations.
  • Derived solutions for homogeneous perturbations of the Kerr black hole.
  • Constructed solutions to perturbation equations with external sources.
  • Found simple formulas for energy flux in asymptotic regions as r* approaches ±∞.
  • Derived expressions for angular momentum flux also in asymptotic settings.

Abstract

The assumption of factorized Green's functions together with the inhomogeneous Teukolsky equations are used to derive analytic expressions for homogeneous metric (and vector potential) perturbations of a Kerr black hole. These homogeneous solutions are used to construct solutions to the perturbation equations when sources are present. What one finds are particularly simple formulas for the energy and angular momentum flux in the asymptotic regions r^*.
