We study the absorption of massless scalar waves in a geometry that interpolates between the Schwarzschild solution and a wormhole that belongs to the Morris-Thorne class of solutions. In the middle of the interpolation branch, this geometry describes a regular black hole. We use the partial wave approach to compute the scalar absorption cross section in this geometry. Our results show that black holes and wormholes present distinctive absorption spectra. We conclude, for instance, that the wormhole results are characterized by the existence of quasibound states which generate Breit-Wigner-like resonances in the absorption spectrum.

  1. Accretion of multipolar massive complex scalar field packets by a Schwarzschild black hole

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    Mode-by-mode numerical accretion maps show that Gaussian massive scalar packets around a Schwarzschild black hole accrete with efficiency set by k0 and ℓ, acquiring a low-k0 partial-accretion floor when Rs/λC > 1.

  2. Resonant transmission of scalar waves through rotating traversable wormhole

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Rotation enhances Breit-Wigner resonances in scalar wave transmission through Teo wormholes by trapping modes in the throat potential well.

  3. Roche limit and stellar disruption in the Simpson--Visser spacetime

    gr-qc 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Tidal forces in the Simpson-Visser spacetime produce Roche radii for stars that depend on observer type and regularization, with some disruptions occurring outside the event horizon for supermassive black holes.
