A rotating black hole can be clouded by light bosons via superradiance, and thus acquire an atom-like structure. If such a gravitational atom system is companioned with a pulsar, the pulsar can trigger transitions between energy levels of the gravitational atom, and these transitions can be detected by pulsar timing. We show that in such pulsar-black hole systems, fine and hyperfine structure transitions are more likely to be probed than the Bohr transition. Also, the calculation of these fine and hyperfine structure transitions are under better analytic control. Thus, these fine and hyperfine structure transitions are more ideal probes in the search for gravitational collider signals in pulsar-black hole systems.

  1. Ultralight Boson Ionization from Comparable-Mass Binary Black Holes

    gr-qc 2025-09 conditional novelty 7.0

    Ionization of boson molecules bound to a black hole binary can dominate gravitational-wave losses during early inspiral, imprinting a turnover in the nanohertz GW background and circularizing the orbit.

  2. Extracting Properties of Dark Dense Environments around Black Holes from Gravitational Waves

    gr-qc 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A novel quantity derived from GW signals encodes the density profile of dark dense environments around black holes, allowing characterization of the condensate type and DM properties via multi-wavelength observations.
