In this paper, we extend the idea that the spectrum of Hawking radiation can reveal valuable information on a number of parameters that characterize a particular black hole background - such as the dimensionality of spacetime and the value…
The anomalous decay rate of the quasinormal modes occurs when the longest-lived modes are the ones with higher angular number. Such behaviour has been recently studied in different static spacetimes, for scalar and fermionic perturbations,…
Interacting massive fields with m > d H/2 in d+1 dimensional de Sitter space are fundamentally unstable. Scalar fields in this mass range can decay to themselves. This process (which is kinematically forbidden in Minkowski space) can lead…
We analyze the late-time decay of scalar perturbations in extremal Reissner-Nordstrom spacetime. We consider individual spherical-harmonic modes $l$ of a test massless scalar field, restricting our attention to initial data of compact…
It is well known that supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies are capable of accelerating charged particles to very high energies. In many cases, the particle acceleration by black holes occurs electromagnetically through an…
We employ a late-time expansion to study the interior of rotating black holes coupled to a massless scalar field in asymptotically flat spacetime. We find that decaying fluxes of scalar radiation into the black hole necessitate the…
Black holes typically inhabit highly dynamical galactic environments and are frequently permeated by accretion media. The inevitable scattering of scalar, electromagnetic and gravitational waves off rotating and charged black holes provides…
Oscillating scalar fields, with an oscillation frequency much greater than the expansion rate, have been proposed as models for dark energy. We examine these models, with particular emphasis on the evolution of the ratio of the oscillation…
We study the complete time evolution of scalar fields propagating in space-times of higher dimensional Lifshitz Black Holes with dynamical critical exponent $z=2$, obtained from a theory including the most general quadratic curvature…
We describe the full nonlinear development of the superradiant instability for a charged massless scalar field, coupled to general relativity and electromagnetism, in the vicinity of a Reissner-Nordstrom-AdS black hole. The presence of the…
We analyze the scalar radiation emitted from a source rotating around a Schwarzschild black hole using the framework of quantum field theory at the tree level. We show that for relativistic circular orbits the emitted power is about 20% to…
In this work we estimate the parameters of several astrophysical black holes hosted at the core of active galactic nuclei by studying the kinematics of test objects in their accretion disk. First, we derive expressions for the redshift and…
The decay of massive scalar field in the Schwarzschild black hole background is investigated here by consideration its quasinormal spectrum. It has been proved that the so-called $quasi-resonant$ modes, which are arbitrary long living…
In this work, we consider the propagation of scalar particles in a higher-dimensional Schwarzschild-de-Sitter black-hole spacetime, both on the brane and in the bulk. Our analysis applies for arbitrary partial modes and for both minimal and…
The late-time evolution of the charged massive Dirac fields in the background of a Reissner-Norstr\"om (RN) black hole is studied. It is found that the intermediate late-time behavior is dominated by an inverse power-law decaying tail…
We study analytically, via the Newman-Penrose formalism, the late time decay of scalar, electromagnetic, and gravitational perturbations outside a realistic rotating (Kerr) black hole. We find a power-law decay at timelike infinity, as well…
The motion of a charged particle is influenced by the self-force arising from the particle's interaction with its own field. In a curved spacetime, this self-force depends on the entire past history of the particle and is difficult to…
We study the decay of Dirac and massive scalar fields at asymptotically late times in the background of the charged asymptotically de Sitter dilatonic black holes. It is shown that the asymptotic decay is exponential and oscillatory for…
We study the quantum-mechanical decay of a Schwarzschild-like black hole into almost-flat space and weak radiation at a very late time, evaluating quantum amplitudes (not just probabilities) for transitions from initial to final states. No…
We present an analytic method for calculating the late-time tails of a linear scalar field outside a Kerr black hole. We give the asymptotic behavior at timelike infinity (for fixed $r$), at future null infinity, and along the event horizon…
