Quasinormal Modes of Clifton–Barrow Black Holes

In this paper, we study the theoretical quasinormal modes produced by scalar perturbations around a static, spherically symmetric black hole with exterior metric described by the Clifton–Barrow solution of R1+δ gravity. It is found that the δ-correction increases both the real and imaginary part of the quasinormal frequency. Compared with those of ordinary Schwarzschild black hole with the same size, the oscillating quasi-period of scalar perturbation of Clifton–Barrow black hole is remarkably short for the case of low multi-pole quantum number l, while the difference of the damping time scales is slight. However, in the large l limit, the relative differences of both real and imaginary part of quasinormal modes have the same amplitude.
