Description

I will present a new general method to find rotating black hole solutions (analytically and in closed form) for a large class of beyond Einstein theories. These solutions are valid for any black hole spin (including near-extremal black holes) and converge exponentially fast with the number of basis functions kept in the solution. These new solutions can now be used to study extreme mass-ratio inspirals or quasinormal ringdown using analogous methods to those developed in general relativity for perturbations of Kerr black holes.
