Signatures of charged rotating regular black holes: quasinormal modes, grey-body factors and shadows
Abstract
We construct and study possible astrophysical signatures of the rotating counterparts of two charged regular black holes, namely the Ayón--Beato--García (ABG) and Balart--Panotopoulos--Rincón (BPR) spacetimes -- obtained using the Newman-Janis algorithm. After verifying the regularity of the rotating metrics, we study massless scalar perturbations, compute the quasinormal mode (QNM) spectra, and characterise their dependence on the spin and charge parameters. Grey-body factors (GBFs) are computed, and the QNM-GBF correspondence is verified. The low-frequency superradiant amplification factor is also examined via matched asymptotic expansions. The Lyapunov exponents are used to connect the eikonal QNM damping rate to photon-orbit instability. Additionally, from shadow profiles, we constrain the parameter space of rotating regular black holes using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observations. Across all the probes, we find that the rotating BPR and Kerr--Newman black holes behave almost indistinguishably from one another, while the rotating ABG geometry exhibits distinct perturbative, scattering, and geometric properties, particularly at larger values of spin and charge. Our analysis indicates that differentiating between charged rotating regular black hole models may be possible using gravitational wave and shadow observations.
