Title

Equality between gravitational and electromagnetic absorption cross sections of extreme Reissner-Nordström black holes
Co-authors

Abstract

The absorption cross section of Reissner-Nordström black holes for the gravitational field is computed numerically, taking into account the coupling of the electromagnetic and gravitational perturbations. Our results are in excellent agreement with low- and high-frequency approximations. We find equality between gravitational and electromagnetic absorption cross sections of extreme Reissner-Nordström black holes for all frequencies, which we explain analytically. This gives the first example of objects in general relativity in four dimensions that absorb the electromagnetic and gravitational waves in exactly the same way.
