Abstract

It is reported that massive scalar fields can form bound states around Kerr black holes [C. Herdeiro, and E. Radu, Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 221101 (2014)]. These bound states are called scalar clouds, which have a real frequency ω=mΩH\omega=m\Omega_H, where mm is the azimuthal index and ΩH\Omega_H is the horizon angular velocity of Kerr black hole. In this paper, we study scalar clouds in a spherically symmetric background, i.e. charged stringy black holes, with the mirror-like boundary condition. These bound states satisfy the superradiant critical frequency condition ω=qΦH\omega=q\Phi_H for the charged scalar field, where qq is the charge of scalar field, and ΦH\Phi_H is the horizon electrostatic potential. We show that, for the specific set of black hole and scalar field parameters, the clouds are only possible for the specific mirror locations rmr_m. It is shown that the analytical results of mirror location rmr_m for the clouds are perfectly coincide with the numerical results. We also show that the scalar clouds are also possible when the mirror locations are close to the horizon. At last, we provide an analytical calculation of the specific mirror locations rmr_m for the scalar clouds in the qQ1qQ\gg 1 regime.
