Abstract

In this study, we consider charged massive scalar fields around a Kerr–Sen spacetime. The radial and angular parts of the covariant Klein–Gordon equation are solved in terms of the confluent Heun function. From the exact radial solution, we obtain the Hawking radiation spectrum and discuss its resonant frequencies. The massless case of the resonant frequencies is also examined.
