abstract

The late-time tails of a massive scalar field in the spacetime of black holes are studied numerically. Previous analytical results for a Schwarzschild black hole are confirmed: The late-time behavior of the field as recorded by a static observer is given by $\psi(t)\sim t^{-5/6}\sin [\omega (t)\times t]$, where $\omega(t)$ depends weakly on time. This result is carried over to the case of a Kerr black hole. In particular, it is found that the power-law index of -5/6 depends on neither the multipole mode $\ell$ nor on the spin rate of the black hole $a/M$. In all black hole spacetimes, massive scalar fields have the same late-time behavior irrespective of their initial data (i.e., angular distribution). Their late-time behavior is universal.

    gr-qc 2025-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Late-time gravitational-wave tails from eccentric, spin-aligned black hole mergers decay as t^-(l+4) for psi4 in all six modes studied, with same-l modes sharing identical exponents.

    gr-qc 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Massive scalar perturbations on the Dymnikova regular black hole exhibit growing oscillation frequencies, reduced damping rates leading to quasi-resonances, power-law oscillatory tails, and mass-dependent suppression ...
