Abstract

We determine the characteristic timescales associated with the linearized relaxation dynamics of the composed Reissner-Nordström-black-hole-charged-massive-scalar-field system. To that end, the quasinormal resonant frequencies which characterize the dynamics of a charged scalar field of mass and charge coupling constant in the charged Reissner-Nordström black-hole spacetime of mass and electric charge are determined {\it analytically} in the eikonal regime . Interestingly, we find that, for a given value of the dimensionless black-hole electric charge , the imaginary part of the resonant oscillation frequency is a monotonically {\it decreasing} function of the dimensionless ratio . In particular, it is shown that the quasinormal resonance spectrum is characterized by the asymptotic behavior in the limiting case . This intriguing finding implies that the composed Reissner-Nordström-black-hole-charged-massive-scalar-field system is characterized by extremely long relaxation times in the limit.
