Abstract
Using the Regge-Wheeler-Zerilli formalism of fully relativistic linear perturbations in the Schwarzschild metric, we analyze the radiation of a particle of mass $m$ falling into a Schwarzschild black hole of mass $M\ensuremath{\gg}m$. The detailed shape of the energy pulse and of the tide-producing components of the Riemann tensor at large distances from the source are given, as well as the angular distribution of the radiation. Finally, analysis of the energy going down the hole indicates the existence of a divergence; implications of this divergence as a testing ground of the approximation used are examined.

Misner has shown that in the scattering of massless wave fields by a Kerr black hole, certain modes are amplified at the expense of the rotational energy of the hole. We show he...

Reversible Transformations of a Charged Black Hole
A formula is derived for the mass of a black hole as a function of its "irreducible mass," its angular momentum, and its charge. It is shown that 50% of the mass of an extreme c...
