Dirac cloud is in absence in general relativity since the superradiance mechanism fails to work for Dirac fields. For the first time we find a mechanism to support Dirac clouds in modified gravity. We study quasi bound states of Dirac particles around a charged spherical black hole in dilatonic gravity. We find that the quasi bound states become real bound states when the central black hole becomes extremal. We make an intensive study of the energy spectrum of the stationary clouds for different fine structure constant $mu M$, and reveal the existence condition of these clouds. Our result strongly implies that extreme dilatonic black holes behave as elementary particles.
We study charged fermionic perturbations in the background of two-dimensional charged Dilatonic black holes, and we present the exact Dirac quasinormal modes. Also, we study the stability of these black holes under charged fermionic perturbations.
The superradiant instability can lead to the generation of extremely dense axion clouds around rotating black holes. We show that, despite the long lifetime of the QCD axion with respect to spontaneous decay into photon pairs, stimulated decay becomes significant above a minimum axion density and leads to extremely bright lasers. The lasing threshold can be attained for axion masses $mu gtrsim 10^{-8} mathrm{eV}$, which implies superradiant instabilities around spinning primordial black holes with mass $lesssim 0.01M_odot$. Although the latter are expected to be non-rotating at formation, a population of spinning black holes may result from subsequent mergers. We further show that lasing can be quenched by Schwinger pair production, which produces a critical electron-positron plasma within the axion cloud. Lasing can nevertheless restart once annihilation lowers the plasma density sufficiently, resulting in multiple laser bursts that repeat until the black hole spins down sufficiently to quench the superradiant instability. In particular, axions with a mass $sim 10^{-5} mathrm{eV}$ and primordial black holes with mass $sim 10^{24}$ kg, which may account for all the dark matter in the Universe, lead to millisecond-bursts in the GHz radio-frequency range, with peak luminosities $sim 10^{42}$ erg/s, suggesting a possible link to the observed fast radio bursts.
Ultralight bosons can form large clouds around stellar-mass black holes via the superradiance instability. Through processes such as annihilation, these bosons can source continuous gravitational wave signals with frequencies within the range of LIGO and Virgo. If boson annihilation occurs, then the Galactic black hole population will give rise to many gravitational signals; we refer to this as the ensemble signal. We characterize the ensemble signal as observed by the gravitational-wave detectors; this is important because the ensemble signal carries the primary signature that a continuous wave signal has a boson annihilation origin. We explore how a broad set of black hole population parameters affects the resulting spin-0 boson annihilation signal and consider its detectability by recent searches for continuous gravitational waves. A population of $10^8$ black holes with masses up to $30mathrm{M}_odot$ and a flat dimensionless initial spin distribution between zero and unity produces up to a thousand signals loud enough to be in principle detected by these searches. For a more moderately spinning population the number of signals drops by about an order of magnitude, still yielding up to a hundred detectable signals for some boson masses. A non-detection of annihilation signals at frequencies between 100 and 1200 Hz disfavors the existence of scalar bosons with rest energies between $2times10^{-13}$ and $2.5times10^{-12}$ eV. Finally we show that, depending on the black hole population parameters, care must be taken in assuming that the continuous wave upper limits from searches for isolated signals are still valid for signals that are part of a dense ensemble: Between 200 and 300 Hz, we urge caution when interpreting a null result for bosons between 4 and $6times10^{-13}$ eV.
In a recent paper (Phys. Dark Univ. {bf 31}, 100744 (2021)) it has been obtained new static black hole solutions with primary hairs by the Gravitational Decoupling. In this work we either study the geodesic motion of massive and massless particles around those solutions and restrict the values of the primary hairs by observational data. In particular, we obtain the effective potential, the innermost stable circular orbits, the marginally bounded orbit, and the periastron advance for time--like geodesics. In order to restrict the values taken by the primary hairs we explore their relationship with the rotation parameter of the Kerr black hole giving the same innermost stable circular orbit radius and give the numerical values for the supermassive black holes at Ark 564 and NGC 1365. The photon sphere and the impact parameter associated to null geodesics are also discussed.
In this work we aim to investigate non-mainstream thick tori configurations around Kerr Black Holes with Scalar Hair (KBHsSH). For that goal, we provide a first approach using constant specific angular momentum non-self-gravitating Polish doughnuts. Through a series of examples, we show the feasibility of new topologies, such as double-centered tori with two cusps as well as similar structures as the ones found for rotating Boson Stars (BSs), namely tori endowed with two centers and a single cusp. These KBHsSH solutions are also shown to possibly house static surfaces, associated to the static rings present in these spacetimes. Through this report we highlight the differences between these fluid configurations when housed by some KBHsSH examples, standard Kerr black holes and rotating BSs.
