Superradiant evolution of the shadow and photon ring of Sgr

Y Chen, R Roy, S Vagnozzi, L Visinelli - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
Ultralight bosons can affect the dynamics of spinning black holes (BHs) via superradiant
instability, which can lead to a time evolution of the supermassive BH shadow. We study …

Superradiance evolution of black hole shadows revisited

R Roy, S Vagnozzi, L Visinelli - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
Black hole (BH) shadows can be used to probe new physics in the form of ultralight particles
via the phenomenon of superradiant instability. By directly affecting the BH mass and spin …

Energy extraction via magnetic reconnection in Lorentz breaking Kerr–Sen and Kiselev black holes

A Carleo, G Lambiase, L Mastrototaro - The European Physical Journal C, 2022 - Springer
Black holes can accumulate a large amount of energy, responsible for highly energetic
astrophysical phenomena. Although the Blandford–Znajek is considered to date the leading …

Efficiency of magnetic Penrose process in higher dimensional Myers-Perry black hole spacetimes

S Shaymatov - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
In this paper, we consider a well-established magnetic Penrose process (MPP) and bring
out its impact on the efficiency of energy extraction from higher dimensional (ie, D> 4) black …

Modulating binary dynamics via the termination of black hole superradiance

K Fan, X Tong, Y Wang, HY Zhu - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
A superradiant cloud of ultralight bosons near a rotating black hole provides a smoking gun
for particle physics in the infrared. However, tidal perturbations from a nearby binary …

[HTML][HTML] Superradiance and quasinormal modes of the gravitational perturbation around rotating hairy black hole

Z Li - Physics Letters B, 2023 - Elsevier
Abstract The No Hair theorem in classical general relativity predicts that rotating black holes
are specified by the Kerr metric, which is uniquely identified by the mass and spin. However …

Dark matter effect on black hole accretion disks

D Pugliese, Z Stuchlík - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
Comparing different dark matter (DM) models, we explore the DM influence on black hole
(BH) accretion disk physics, considering corotating and counterrotating thick accretion tori …
