Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of massive particles and the associated gravitational waveforms in the spacetime of a black hole within the framework of Einstein-Bumblebee gravity. Our analysis encompasses both charged and uncharged black hole configurations, with a particular focus on the spontaneous Lorentz symmetry breaking mechanism inherent to this model, which is governed by a dimensionless coupling parameter . We analyze the geodesic equations and the effective potential to determine the allowed parameter space for bound orbits, demonstrating that in the charged case, both the Lorentz-violating parameter and the electric charge significantly enhance the confinement capacity of the potential, thereby broadening the energy and angular momentum windows for bound states. A key focus is placed on the classification and properties of periodic orbits, characterized by rational frequency ratios using the whirl, zoom, and vertex taxonomy. We demonstrate that in the uncharged case (), the radial effective potential and standard innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) properties are degenerate with those of a Schwarzschild black hole. However, despite this degeneracy in static potential properties, the structure of periodic orbits exhibits qualitative differences, providing a possible observational signature that can break this degeneracy. Finally, we compute the corresponding gravitational waveforms extracted from these periodic orbits using the quadrupole formula. The results reveal that and introduce contrasting phase-shifting effects on the waveforms. This suggests that bumblebee gravity leaves measurable imprints on gravitational-wave signals that could be detected by future space-based gravitational-wave observatories.
