Excited hairy black holes: dynamical construction and level transitions

Understand

We study the dynamics of unstable Reissner-Nordstr\"om anti-de Sitter black holes under charged scalar field perturbations in spherical symmetry.

• We unravel their general behavior and approach to the final equlibrium state.
• In the first part of this work, we present a numerical analysis of massive charged scalar field quasinormal modes.
• We identify the known mode families - superradiant modes, zero-damped modes, AdS modes, and the near-horizon mode - and we track their migration under variation of the black hole and field parameters.
