Perturbations of Black Holes Surrounded by Anisotropic Matter Field (2411.11629v1)

Abstract: Our research aims to probe the anisotropic matter field around black holes using black hole perturbation theory. Black holes in the universe are usually surrounded by matter or fields, and it is important to study the perturbation and the characteristic modes of a black hole that coexists with such a matter field. In this study, we focus on a family of black hole solutions to Einstein's equations that extend the Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m spacetime to include an anisotropic matter field. In addition to mass and charge, this type of black hole possesses additional hair due to the negative radial pressure of the anisotropic matter. We investigate the perturbations of the massless scalar and electromagnetic fields and calculate the quasinormal modes (QNMs). We also study the critical orbits around the black hole and their properties to investigate the connection between the eikonal QNMs, black hole shadow radius, and Lyapunov exponent. Additionally, we analyze the grey-body factors and scattering coefficients using the perturbation results. Our findings indicate that the presence of anisotropic matter fields leads to a splitting in the QNM frequencies compared to the Schwarzschild case. This splitting feature is also reflected in the shadow radius, Lyapunov exponent, and grey-body factors.
