Scalar field dynamics around black holes: superradiant instabilities and binary evolution
Giuseppe Ficarra
In classical general relativity astrophysical black holes can be affected by the superradiant instability when gravity is minimally coupled to a light bosonic field. The majority o…

Impact of multiple modes on the black-hole superradiant instability
Giuseppe Ficarra, Paolo Pani, Helvi Witek
Ultralight bosonic fields in the mass range can trigger a superradiant instability that extracts energy and angular momentum from an astrophysi…
