Qusinormal oscillations and late-time tail of massless scalar perturbations of a magnetized black hole in Rastall gravity

Abstract

In this paper, we study the quasinormal mode and late-time tail of charged massless scalar perturbations of a black hole in the generalized Rastall gravity. The black hole metric in question is spherically symmetric, accompanied by a power-Maxwell field surrounded by a quintessence fluid. It is shown that the massless scalar field, when {\it dressed up} with the magnetic field, acquires an effective mass which, in turn, significantly affects the properties of the resultant quasinormal oscillations and late-time tails. To be specific, the quasinormal frequencies become distorted and might even be unstable for particular spacetime configurations. Also, the exponent of the usual power-law tail is modified in accordance with the modification in the structure of the branch cut of the retarded Green's function. In particular, as the effective mass is generated dynamically due to the presence of the magnetic field, one may consider a process through which the field is gradually removed from the spacetime configuration. In this context, while the quasinormal oscillations converge to the case of massless perturbations, we argue that the properties of resultant late-time tails do not fall back to their massless counterpart. The relevant features are investigated by numerical and analytic approaches.
