Testing general relativity with the ringdown phase of gravitational waves requires connecting modifications of black-hole perturbation dynamics to observable signatures in detector strain. In this work, we study the relation between curvature perturbations, metric master variables, and detector tensor polarizations for...

Rotating black holes offer powerful probes of gravity, but constructing their geometries beyond vacuum general relativity remains challenging. Here we develop a unified framework for constructing stationary, axisymmetric deformations of Kerr from their tidal curvature and physical sources. As a demonstration, we obtain...
Extreme mass-ratio inspirals offer a powerful probe of massive black holes and their environments, but interpreting their signals requires accurate models of orbital dynamics and radiation. Here we bring together advances in black-hole perturbation theory to establish a unified relativistic framework for adiabatic insp...
