Exploring a phantom Dirac-Born-Infeld regular black hole via particle emission, wave scattering and geodesics

Abstract

We examine particle creation, evaporation, scalar wave absorption and scattering, and geodesic motion in the asymptotically flat regular black hole supported by a phantom Dirac-Born-Infeld field. For massless bosonic and fermionic fields, the Bogoliubov transformations yield thermal spectra whose Hawking temperature decreases as the regular core becomes more prominent. Energy-conserving tunneling recovers the same temperature in the low-energy limit, whereas recoil and the DBI contribution introduce nonthermal corrections and suppress particle emission. In the high-frequency regime, the enlargement of the cross section does not compensate for the reduction in temperature, resulting in a lower luminosity and a longer evaporation time. A numerical partial wave analysis shows that the total scalar absorption increases with the regular core scale, approaches the horizon area at low frequencies, and oscillates around an enlarged geometric capture limit at high frequencies. The scattering phase shifts modify the multipolar amplitudes nonuniformly and displace the interference fringes toward larger angles. Furthermore, both null and timelike trajectories experience stronger deflection as the regular core contribution increases.
