Recently, a new interesting instability of a charged scalar field in the Reissner-Nordstr\"om-de Sitter background has been found (arXiv:1405.4931v2) through the time-domain integration of the perturbation equation. We investigate further properties of this instability, confirm its existence by concordant frequency-domain and time-domain calculations and show that it occurs at however small value of the coupling eQ, where e and Q are charges of a scalar field and black hole respectively. We also investigate the parametric region of instability and show that the critical values of eQ at which the stabilization happens strongly depends on the value of cosmological constant $\Lambda$ and softly on Q. We show that all the unstable modes are superradiant, but not all the superradiant modes are unstable. We analytically prove that superradiance is necessary (but not sufficient) condition for the instability in this case and, thereby, demonstrate the superradiant origin of the instability.

  1. Charged Superradiant Instability of Spherically Symmetric Regular Black Holes in de Sitter Spacetime: Time- and Frequency-Domain Analysis

    gr-qc 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    ABG-dS black holes show charged superradiant instability exclusively for the spherically symmetric ℓ=0 mode, with growth rates that peak at intermediate Λ and q and rise with Q, differing from RN-dS due to nonlinear e...

  2. Quasinormal Spectra of Fields of Various Spin in Asymptotically de Sitter Black Holes within Generalized Proca Theory

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Quasinormal frequencies for massless fields in Proca-hairy de Sitter black holes show scalar ℓ=0 modes most sensitive to hair parameter Q, with damping weakening near the three-horizon regime.

  3. Long-lived massive scalar modes, grey-body factors, and absorption cross sections of the Reissner--Nordstr\"om-like brane-world black hole

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Positive tidal charge in this brane-world black hole lowers the effective potential barrier, pushes massive scalar quasinormal modes toward arbitrarily long lifetimes, and increases transmission and absorption.

  4. Long-lived quasinormal modes, shadows and particle motion in four-dimensional quasi-topological gravity

    gr-qc 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Massive scalar quasinormal modes in quasi-topological black holes become long-lived as scalar mass grows, while photon-sphere radius, shadow size, and ISCO exhibit moderate deviations from Schwarzschild.

  5. Long-lived quasinormal modes of Asymptotically de Sitter Black Holes in Generalized Proca Theory

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Massive scalar perturbations of de Sitter black holes in generalized Proca theory enter a large-mass regime with linearly growing real frequencies and constant damping rates, without true quasi-resonances, plus an ana...

    gr-qc 2015-01 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Black-hole superradiance extracts energy via the ergoregion and can trigger instabilities with applications to dark matter, beyond-Standard-Model physics, and laboratory analogs.
