Acoustic black-hole bombs and scalar clouds in a photon-fluid model
arXiv:2101.07508 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.103.045004
Abstract
Massive bosonic fields in the background of a Kerr black hole can either trigger superradiant instabilities (black-hole bombs) or form equilibrium configurations corresponding to pure bound states, known as stationary scalar clouds. Here, similar phenomena are shown to emerge in the fluctuation dynamics of a rotating photon-fluid model. In the presence of suitable vortex flows, the density fluctuations are governed by the massive Klein-Gordon equation on a (2+1) curved spacetime, possessing an ergoregion and an event horizon. We report on superradiant instabilities originating from quasi-bound phonon states trapped by the vortex background and, remarkably, on the existence of stationary modes in synchronous rotation with the horizon. These represent the acoustic counterpart of astrophysical scalar clouds. Our system offers a promising platform for analogue gravity experiments on superradiant instabilities of massive bosons and black-hole-field equilibrium configurations.
