Superradiant evolution of the shadow and photon ring of Sgr

Y Chen, R Roy, S Vagnozzi, L Visinelli - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
Ultralight bosons can affect the dynamics of spinning black holes (BHs) via superradiant
instability, which can lead to a time evolution of the supermassive BH shadow. We study …

Superradiance evolution of black hole shadows revisited

R Roy, S Vagnozzi, L Visinelli - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
Black hole (BH) shadows can be used to probe new physics in the form of ultralight particles
via the phenomenon of superradiant instability. By directly affecting the BH mass and spin …
