Abstract

This work explores the connection between two attributes of black holes currently of intense interest, namely their shadows and their quasinormal modes. It establishes a mapping between the shadow of a Kerr black hole and a family of its quasinormal modes within a certain range of its parameters and discusses the possibility of testing the map with space based gravitational wave detectors and the next generation Event Horizon telescope.
