Polarization of Long-Wavelength Gravitational Waves by Rotating Black Holes
Sam R. Dolan
The scattering cross section for a long-wavelength planar gravitational wave impinging upon a rotating black hole is calculated, for the special case in which the direction of inci…
Scattering and absorption of gravitational plane waves by rotating black holes
Sam R. Dolan
This is a study of the scattering and absorption of planar gravitational waves by a Kerr black hole in vacuum. We apply the partial wave method to compute cross sections for the sp…
Scattering of Long-Wavelength Gravitational Waves
Sam R. Dolan
We consider the scattering of a low-frequency gravitational wave by a massive compact body in vacuum. We apply partial-wave methods to compute amplitudes for the helicity-conservin…
Instability of the massive Klein-Gordon field on the Kerr spacetime
Sam R. Dolan
We investigate the instability of the massive scalar field in the vicinity of a rotating black hole. The instability arises from amplification caused by the classical superradiance…
