Nonlinear Electromagnetic Quasinormal Modes and Hawking Radiation of A Regular Black Hole with Magnetic Charge

Based on a regular exact black hole (BH) from nonlinear electrodynamics (NED) coupled to General Relativity, we investigate its stability of such BH through the Quasinormal Modes (QNMs) of electromagnetic (EM) field perturbation and its thermodynamics through Hawking radiation. In perturbation theory, we can deduce the effective potential from nonlinear EM field. The comparison of potential function between regular and RN BHs could predict their similar QNMs. The QNMs frequencies tell us the effect of magnetic charge $q$, overtone $n$, angular momentum number $l$ on the dynamic evolution of NLED EM field. Furthermore we also discuss the cases near extreme condition of such magnetically charged regular BH. The corresponding QNMs spectrum illuminates some special properties in the near-extreme cases. For the thermodynamics, we employ Hamilton-Jacobi method to calculate the near-horizon Hawking temperature of the regular BH and reveal the relationship between classical parameters of black hole and its quantum effect

Gamma-ray polarization induced by cold electrons via Compton processes

The polarization measurement is an important tool to probe the prompt emission mechanism in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). The synchrotron photons can be scattered by cold electrons in the outflow via Compton scattering processes. The observed polarization depends on both the photon energy and the viewing angle. With the typical bulk Lorentz factor $\Gamma \sim 200$, photons with energy $E>10$ MeV tend to have smaller polarization than photons with energy $E<1$ MeV. At the right viewing angle, i.e. $\theta \sim \Gamma^{-1}$, the polarization achieves its maximal value, and the polarization angle changes $90^{\circ}$ relative to the initial polarization direction. Thus, the synchrotron radiation plus Compton scattering model can naturally explain the $90^{\circ}$ change of the polarization angle in GRB 100826A.Comment: 19 Pages, 5 figures, 1 tabl
