We construct a template to model the post-merger phase of a binary black hole coalescence in the presence of a remnant U (1) charge. We include the quasi-normal modes typically dominant during a binary black hole coalescence, ( (cid:96), m, n ) = { (2 , 2 , 0) , (2 , 2 , 1) } and also present analytical fits for the quasinormal mode frequencies of a Kerr-Newman black hole in terms of its spin and charge, here also including the (3 , 3 , 0) mode. Aside from astrophysical electric charge, our template can accommodate extensions of the Standard Model, such as a dark photon. Applying the model to LIGO-Virgo detections, we find that we are unable to distinguish between the charged and uncharged hypotheses from a purely post-merger analysis of the current events. However, restricting the mass and spin to values compatible with the analysis of the full signal, we obtain a 90th percentile bound ¯ q < 0 . 33 on the black hole charge-to-mass ratio, for the most favorable case of GW150914. Under similar assumptions, by simulating a typical loud signal observed by the LIGO-Virgo network at its design sensitivity, we assess that this model can provide a robust measurement of the charge-to-mass ratio only for values ¯ q (cid:38) 0 . 5; here we also assume that the mode amplitudes are similar to the uncharged case in creating our simulated signal. Lower values, down to ¯ q ∼ 0 . 3, could instead be detected when evaluating the consistency of the pre-merger and post-merger emission.
