Detailed Description

Analytic initial data for a pure spherical harmonic in three dimensions in a KerrSchild background.

Details

The initial data is taken from [182] , Eqs. 4.1–4.3, and sets the evolved variables of the scalar wave as follows:

\begin{align} \Psi &= 0 \\ \Phi_i &= 0 \\ \Pi &= \Pi_0(r, \theta, \phi) = A e^{- (r - r_0)^2 / w^2} Y_{lm}(\theta, \phi), \end{align}

where \(A\) is the amplitude of the profile, \(r_0\) is its radius and \(w\) is its width. This describes a pure spherical harmonic mode \(Y_{lm}(\theta, \phi)\) truncated by a circular Gaussian window function.

When evolved, the scalar field \(\Phi\) will briefly build up around the radius \(r_0\) and then disperse. This can be used to study the ringdown behavior and late-time tails in the Kerr spacetime.
