Abstract
Detection of gravitational waves has provided a new way to test black hole (BH) models. We show how simple constraints can be obtained for models that go beyond vacuum Einstein gravity solutions of binary BH mergers. Generic stationary metrics, termed dirty BHs in the literature, are not vacuum solutions of the Einstein equations. These models are, however, general enough to describe BHs surrounded by matter fields. Gravitational wave constraints already rule out certain parts of parameter space for these solutions, including certain parameters describing objects without horizons that have recently been studied in the context of pseudo-complex general relativity.
