abstract

We analyze the scattering of a planar monochromatic electromagnetic wave incident upon a Schwarzschild black hole. We obtain accurate numerical results from the partial wave method for the electromagnetic scattering cross section, and show that they are in excellent agreement with analytical approximations. The scattering of electromagnetic waves is compared with the scattering of scalar, spinor and gravitational waves. We present a unified picture of the scattering of all massless fields for the first time.

  • Scattering from compact objects: Debye series and Regge-Debye poles gr-qc · 2026-03-08 · conditional · none · ref 22 · internal anchor

    An exact Debye-series decomposition of the scattering matrix for waves on compact stars reveals distinct Regge-Debye pole families that dominate amplitudes differently in neutron-star-like and ultracompact regimes.
