Introduction What are Greybody Factors? What are Greybody Factors? Choose a solution Φ representing an incoming wave at infinity. Then the greybody factor is γ ( ω, ℓ ) = Total flux of Φ at the horizon Total flux of Φ at infinity Can interchange “ingoing” ↔ “outgoing” and “horizon” ↔ “infinity”. Interpretation: γ ( ω, ℓ ) represents the probability for an outgoing wave, in the ( ω, ℓ )–mode, to reach infinity. Jos´ e Nat´ ario (IST, Lisbon) Greybody Factors UP 2008 7 / 34
