AbstractBosonic fields around a spinning black hole can be amplified via ‘superradiance’, a wave analogue of the Penrose process, which extracts energy and momentum from the black hole. For hypothetical ultra-light bosons, with Compton wavelengths on ≳ km scales, such a process can lead to the exponential growth of gravitationally bound states around astrophysical Kerr black holes. If such particles exist, as predicted in many theories of beyond Standard Model physics, then these bosonic clouds give rise to a number of potentially-observable signals. Among the most promising are monochromatic gravitational radiation signals which could be detected at Advanced LIGO and future gravitational wave observatories.

Theory Of Gravitation

The wave equation for a scalar field ψ is solved in the background metric of a new theory of gravity, based on a non-Riemannian field structure with a nonsymmetric Hermitian gμν. In contrast to the solution of the problem in a Schwarzschild background metric, in which only orbits close to r ~ 3M yield significant gravitational radiation, the new metric leads to an effective potential with stable orbits for a substantial range of r. The solution yields ψ = (1 − ℓ4/r4)−1/2ψGR where ℓ is a new integration constant. The null surface r = ℓ determines an astrophysical object called a "deflectar", which for ℓ > 2M conceals the Schwarzschild black-hole event horizon at r = 2M. As r → ℓ the gravitational synchrotron radiation increases to infinity. The actual power output of gravitational radiation for physically allowed stable orbits closest to r = ℓ is estimated, demonstrating that a deflectar is a potentially strong source of gravitational radiation.
