Scientific paper

The aim of this note is to present a governing equation for first order axial metric perturbations of general, not necessarily static, spherically symmetric spacetimes. Under the non-restrictive assumption of axisymmetric perturbations, the governing equation is shown to be a two-dimensional wave equation where the wave function serves as a twist potential for the rotational Killing vector. This wave equation can be written in a form which is formally a very simple generalization of the Regge-Wheeler equation governing the axial perturbations of a Schwarzschild black hole.
