contents We study odd-parity perturbations about static and spherically symmetric black hole solutions with a linearly time-dependent scalar field in higher-order scalar-tensor theories. In particular, we consider stealth Schwarzschild and stealth Schwarzschild-de Sitter solutions, where the deviation from the general relativity case is controlled by a single parameter. We find that complex frequencies of quasinormal modes (QNMs) are given by a simple scaling of those in general relativity. We also show that there is a degeneracy between the parameter characterizing the modification from general relativity and the black hole mass. We then consider a physically sensible initial value problem by taking into account the fact that the effective metric for the odd-parity perturbations is in general different from the background metric. We confirm that damped oscillations appearing at late times are indeed dominated by the QNMs. Our analysis includes the case where the perturbations are superluminal, and we demonstrate in this case that the perturbations can escape from the region inside the horizon for the background metric.
