Superradiant scattering by rotating black-bounce black holes
Abstract
We investigate superradiant scattering off a rotating regular black hole described by a black-bounce metric which generalizes the Kerr spacetime of mass and specific angular momentum through a regularization parameter and two deformation exponents . Focusing on massless scalar modes, we explore the parameter space and compute amplification factors by numerically integrating the separated radial Klein-Gordon equation. We track the peak amplification and the corresponding frequency across the parameter space for several combinations of and . We find that increasing systematically enhances superradiance, whereas increasing tends to suppress it. In particular, certain configurations yield amplification levels up to 98% larger than the maximum amplification for standard Kerr black holes.
