Abstract

The superradiant instabilities of Kerr-Newman black holes with charged or uncharged massive spin-0 fields are calculated analytically to the next-to-leading order in the limit of αrgμ1\alpha\sim r_g \mu \ll 1. A missing factor of 1/21/2 in the previous leading-order result is identified. The next-to-leading order result has a compact form and is in good agreement with existing numerical calculations. The percentage error increases with α\alpha, from a few percent for α0.1\alpha\sim 0.1 to about 50%50\% for α0.4\alpha\sim 0.4. Massive neutral scalars too heavy to be produced with Kerr black hole superradiance may exist in the superradiant region of Kerr-Newman black holes.
