Abstract

Black hole echoes have been considered as new probes to standard gravitational waveforms. Here, I consider reflections of scalar waves around a black hole as a model of black hole echoes arising from scalar fields. This problem is difficult due to the need for a proper understanding of the characteristic fields that propagate in numerical relativity. Using the "Einstein-Christoffel" system, I model the characteristic fields and the boundary conditions in such a way as to properly reflect scalar waves at a boundary using the full power of Einstein’s equations.
