AbstractWe investigate the absorption of planar massless scalar waves by a charged rotating stringy black hole, namely a Kerr–Sen black hole. We compute numerically the absorption cross section and compare our results with those of the Kerr–Newman black hole, a classical general relativity solution. In order to better compare both charged black holes, we define the ratio of the black hole charge to the extreme charge as Q. We conclude that Kerr–Sen and Kerr–Newman black holes have a similar absorption cross section, with the difference increasing for higher values of Q.

We investigate null geodesics impinging parallel to the rotation axis of a Kerr–Newman black hole, and show that the absorption cross section for a massless scalar field in the eikonal limit can be described in terms of the photon orbit parameters. We compare our sinc and low-frequency approximations with numerical results, showing that they are in excellent agreement.

We discuss the phenomenology of massless scalar fields around a regular Bardeen black hole, namely absorption cross-section, scattering cross-section and quasinormal modes. We compare the Bardeen and Reissner–Nordström black holes, showing limiting cases for which their properties are similar.

By using the partial wave method, we investigate the absorption of massless scalar wave from regular black hole. We numerically carry out the absorption cross section and find that the larger angular momentum quantum number l is, the smaller the corresponding maximum value of partial absorption cross section is. Comparing with Schwarzschild case, the absorption cross section of regular black holes is strengthened in both low and high frequency regions, and the absorption cross section oscillates around the geometric optical value in the high frequency region. Generally speaking, the scattering flux is strengthened and its scattering width becomes narrower in the forward direction. There are obvious contrast of scattering properties of different type of regular black hole.

Astrophysical black holes are often with companions, including other gravitating objects, accretion disks, electromagnetic fields, and others. Because of the nonlinear nature of general relativity, it is difficult to account for the gravitational effects of these companions, which can only be investigated analytically for very few cases. In this paper, we consider black holes with surrounding matter — often called dirty black holes — and analyze the absorption cross section of massless scalar fields. We start by laying out the generic setup for spherically symmetric scenarios and then specify for a simple model. We consider planar massless scalar waves impinging upon a Schwarzschild black hole surrounded by a thin spherical shell, and compute the absorption cross section. We present a selection of numerical results complementary to those presented in [C. F. B. Macedo, L. C. S. Leite and L. C. B. Crispino, Phys. Rev. D 93 (2016) 024027, arXiv:1511.08781 [gr-qc]] for arbitrary frequencies, considering different values of the shell position as well as its mass.

We compute the absorption cross-section of the Kerr black holes (BH) for the massless scalar field, and present a selection of numerical results, to complement the results of Ref.[C. F. B. Macedo, L. C. S. Leite, E. S. Oliveria, S. R. Dolan and L. C. B. Crispino, Phys. Rev. D 88 (2013) 064033.] We show that, in the high-frequency regime, the cross-section approaches the geodesic capture cross-section. We split the absorption cross-section into corotating and counterrotating contributions, and we show that the counterrotating contribution exceeds the corotating one.

The behavior of a charged scalar field in the RN black hole space–time is studied using the WKB approximation. In the present work, it is assumed that matter waves can be reflected from the event horizon. Using this effect, the Hawking temperature and the absorption cross section for an RN black hole placed in a charged scalar field are calculated. The absorption cross section σabs is found to be inversely proportional to the square of the Hawking temperature of the black hole.
