Correspondences between apparently distant concepts are ubiquitous in theoretical physics. In the context of black holes (BHs), quasinormal modes (QNMs) were shown to be linked to both shadows, in the so-called eikonal limit, and graybody factors (GBFs), using the WKB approximation. We test the accuracy of the QNM-GBF correspondence in the context of the Hawking radiation for static and rotating black hole configurations, with particular attention to the superradiant regime. Our analysis reveals the correspondence failure to accurately reproduce the Hawking spectrum due to divergences. Furthermore, we bridge the gap between BH shadows and GBFs by drawing a correspondence between such quantities in the case of generic static and spherically symmetric spacetime configurations. The shadow-GBF correspondence is tested for some case studies, including regular BHs, and its limitations and applicability are discussed. This study opens new perspectives by introducing a new correspondence and remarking on the caution needed when considering these connections.

  1. Absorption spectrum and greybody factors of charged black holes in loop quantum gravity

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The absorption cross section of massless scalar waves by a charged loop-quantum-gravity black hole increases with the quantum parameter in an intermediate frequency band, decreases with charge, and matches classical a...

  2. 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.

  3. Spectrum instability and greybody factor stability for parabolic approximation of Regge-Wheeler potential

    gr-qc 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Replacing the Regge-Wheeler potential by piecewise parabolas makes quasinormal-mode spectra unstable, with long-lived overtones, while greybody factors stay close to the exact Schwarzschild result.

  4. Matter environments around black holes: geodesics, light rings, and ultracompact configurations

    gr-qc 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Dark-matter halos modeled as Einstein clusters generically move the ISCO inward and the light ring outward, and ultracompact halos can add extra light rings, trapped modes, and secondary horizons.

  5. Quasi-normal modes and echoes of generalized black hole bounces and their correspondence with shadows

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In a generalized black bounce spacetime, horizonless configurations with a between two critical values produce gravitational wave echoes whose frequencies and damping evolve with the bounce parameter, and these echoes...
