Absorption of planar massless scalar waves by Kerr black holes
Caio F. B. Macedo, Luiz C. S. Leite, Ednilton S. Oliveira +2
We consider planar massless scalar waves impinging upon a Kerr black hole, for general angles of incidence. We compute the absorption cross section via the partial wave approach, a…
Astrophysical signatures of boson stars: quasinormal modes and inspiral resonances
Caio F. B. Macedo, Paolo Pani, Vitor Cardoso +1
Compact bosonic field configurations, or boson stars, are promising dark matter candidates which have been invoked as an alternative description for the supermassive compact object…
Into the lair: gravitational-wave signatures of dark matter
Caio F. B. Macedo, Paolo Pani, Vitor Cardoso +1
The nature and properties of dark matter (DM) are both outstanding issues in physics. Besides clustering in halos, the universal character of gravity implies that self-gravitating…
