Superradiant scattering processes are studied in general relativistic systems which, unlike rotating and/or charged black holes, do not exhibit an event horizon. Inspired by Zel'dovich's seminal works on the amplification of waves by a rotating cylinder, we analyse, in the context of General Relativity, the possibility of superradiance for electromagnetic waves reflecting off a rotating star and for charged scalar perturbations impinging on a charged sphere. The role of energy dissipation in these systems is analysed and compared with the role of the event horizon in black hole superradiance.

  1. Gravitational Atoms from Topological Stars

    gr-qc 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Bound states of a massive scalar field around topological stars form strictly normal modes, producing a hydrogen-like spectrum when the Compton wavelength exceeds the star size and localized states otherwise.

  2. Wind-Finslerian structure of black holes

    gr-qc 2025-01 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    The causal structure of black holes, including horizons and interiors, can be encoded in wind-Finsler metrics whose shifted indicatrices track null geodesics.

  3. Superradiance -- the 2020 Edition

    gr-qc 2015-01 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

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