We explain how to obtain the gauge-invariant part of the metric perturbations from the amplitudes obeying our generalized Regge-Wheeler and Zerilli equations and vice-versa. We also give a general expression for the radiated energy at infinity, and establish the relation between our geometrical equations and the Teukolsky formalism. The results presented in this paper are expected to be useful for the close-limit approximation to black hole collisions, for the Cauchy perturbative matching problem, and for the study of isolated horizons.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2001-06-21T18:36:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "schwarzschild black hole", "gauge invariant perturbations", "horizon-penetrating coordinates", "zerilli equations", "black hole collisions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
