No-scalar-hair theorem for spherically symmetric reflecting stars

Shahar Hod

It is proved that spherically symmetric compact reflecting objects cannot support static bound-state configurations made of scalar fields whose self-interaction potential …

The spinning Kerr-black-hole-mirror bomb: A lower bound on the radius of the reflecting mirror

Shahar Hod

The intriguing superradiant amplification phenomenon allows an orbiting scalar field to extract rotational energy from a spinning Kerr black hole. Interestingly, the energy extract…

Analytic treatment of the system of a Kerr-Newman black hole and a charged massive scalar field

Shahar Hod

Charged rotating Kerr-Newman black holes are known to be superradiantly unstable to perturbations of charged massive bosonic fields whose proper frequencies lie in the bounded regi…

Upper bound on the center-of-mass energy of the collisional Penrose process

Shahar Hod

Following the interesting work of Bañados, Silk, and West [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 103}, 111102 (2009)], it is repeatedly stated in the physics literature that the center-of-mass ene…

Slowly decaying resonances of charged massive scalar fields in the Reissner-Nordström black-hole spacetime

Shahar Hod

We determine the characteristic timescales associated with the linearized relaxation dynamics of the composed Reissner-Nordström-black-hole-charged-massive-scalar-field system. To…

Hawking radiation and the Stefan-Boltzmann law: The effective radius of the black-hole quantum atmosphere

Shahar Hod

It has recently been suggested [S. B. Giddings, Phys. Lett. B {\bf 754}, 39 (2016)] that the Hawking black-hole radiation spectrum originates from an effective quantum "atmosphere"…
