Description
In this era of gravitational waves from blackhole and neutron star mergers, GW data is being collected at an amazing pace. There is a possibility of GWs of BH mergers scattering from wormholes and/or other exotic compact objects (ECOs), if they exist. Specialized groups are searching for wormhole signatures. We share the results of our study of scalar field perturbations and quasi-normal modes of the Teo rotating wormhole background via first and third order WKB approximations. Our goal is to move toward a high confidence level in the signatures to expect during the search and analysis of GW data.
