Scalar radiation emitted by a source around a spherically symmetric black hole

We analyze the scalar radiation emitted by a source in a circular geodesic orbit around a spherically symmetric black hole. The black hole spacetime considered is quite general, in the sense that it encompasses the solutions of Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m, and also the Bardeen solution of a regular black hole. We use the framework of quantum field theory in curved spaces to compute the one-particle emission amplitude of scalar particles and related quantities.
