Frequency shift of light emitted from growing and shrinking black holes

Abstract
In this paper we present a method to study the frequency shift of signals sent from near a Schwarzschild black hole that grows or shrinks through accretion. We construct the numerical solution of Einstein's equations sourced by a spherical shell of scalar field, with positive energy density to simulate the growth and with negative energy density to simulate the shrink of the black hole horizon. We launch a distribution of null rays at various time slices during the accretion and estimate their energy along their own trajectories. Spatially the bundles of photons are distributed according to the distribution of dust, whose dynamics obeys Euler equations in the test field limit during the evolution of the black hole. With these elements, we construct the frequency shift of photons during the accretion process of growth or contraction of the hole, which shows a variability that depends on the thickness of the scalar field shell or equivalently the time scale of the accretion.
