Abstract
Using an asymptotic iteration method, we calculate the gravitational and electromagnetic quasinormal mode (QNM) perturbations for a static neutral black hole described by a Scalar-Tensor-Vector Modified Gravity framework (STVG-MOG). We show that the first few harmonic modes differ from their general relativistic (GR) equivalent for a Schwarzschild black hole. Specifically, the real and imaginary components of the QNM frequencies are smaller for STVG-MOG than for GR. We posit that the differences are sufficiently large to potentially be observed in present and future black hole binary merger gravitational waveforms.
