Resonance of Gravitational Axions-like Particles
arXiv:2402.10700
Abstract
The motion of gravitational axion-like particles (ALP) around a Kerr black hole is analyzed, paying attention to resonance and distribution of spectral radiation. We first discuss the computation of and its implications with Pontryagin's theorem and a detailed analysis of Teukolsky's master equation is done. After carefully analyzing the Teukolsky master equation, we show that this system exhibits resonance when where is the mass of the ALP. A skew-normal distribution can approximate the energy distribution, and we can calculate the mean lifetime of the resonance for black holes with masses between 100 to 1000 . This range corresponds to a duration between s and s, the observation range used in LIGO data.
