abstract

Does circumventing the curvature singularity of the Kerr black hole affects the timescale of the scalar cloud formation around it? By definition, the scalar cloud, forms a gravitational atom with hydrogen-like bound states, lying on the threshold of a massive scalar field's superradiant instability regime (time-growing quasi-bound states) and beyond (time-decaying quasi-bound states). By taking a novel type of rotating hollow regular black hole proposed by Simpson and Visser which unlike its standard rivals has an asymptotically Minkowski core, we address this question. The metric has a minimal extension relative to the standard Kerr, originating from a single regularization parameter $\ell$, with length dimension. We show with the inclusion of the regularization length scale $\ell$ into the Kerr spacetime, without affecting the standard superradiant instability regime, the timescale of scalar cloud formation gets shorter. Since the scalar cloud after its formation, via energy dissipation, can play the role of a continuum source for gravitational waves, such a reduction in the instability growth time improves the phenomenological detection prospects of new physics because the shorter the time, the more astrophysically important.

  1. Evaporating cosmologically coupled black holes

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    If a black hole's mass grows with cosmic expansion, Hawking evaporation is slowed or reversed, weakening gamma-ray bounds on primordial black holes.

  2. Regular black holes with Minkowskian cores: causal structure and observational degeneracy

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Regular black holes with Minkowskian cores constructed by gravitational decoupling produce shadows and accretion-disk images nearly indistinguishable from Kerr/Schwarzschild despite radically different interiors.

  3. The Spectroscopy of the 2+1 Dimensional Analog Black Hole in Photon-Fluid Model

    gr-qc 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    For the 2+1D photon-fluid analog black hole, the paper derives exact quasibound states, Hawking radiation, superradiance amplification, and greybody factors, finding superradiance for ̟ < ω < m_l Ω_H.
