Abstract: In this paper we study the even part of the linear stability of the Schwarzschild spacetime as a continuation of [22]. By taking the harmonic gauge, we prove that the energy decays at a rate $a{u}^{-2+}$ for the solution of the linearized Einstein equation after subtracting its spherically symmetric part. We further show that the spherically symmetric part converges to a linear combination of two special solutions. One is the gauge-fixed mass change solution [19]. The other is the deformation tensor of a stationary one form, which solves the tensorial wave equation. As a key ingredient, we prove that the solutions of the tensorial wave equation converge to this stationary one form up to a scalar multiplication.
