AbstractThe motion of photons around black holes determines the shape of shadow and match the ringdown properties of a perturbed black hole. Observations of shadows and ringdown waveforms will reveal the nature of black holes. In this paper, we study the motion of photons in a general parametrized metric beyond the Kerr hypothesis. We investigated the radius and frequency of the photon circular orbits on the equatorial plane and obtained fitted formula with varied parameters. The Lyapunov exponent which connects to the decay rate of the ringdown amplitude is also calculated. We also analyzed the shape of shadow with full parameters of the generally axisymmetric metric. Our results imply the potential constraint on black hole parameters by combining the Event Horizon Telescope and gravitational wave observations in the future.

We discuss the conditions under which one can expect to have the usual identification of black hole entropy with the area of the horizon. We then construct an example in which the actual presence of the event horizon on a given hypersurface depends on a quantum event in which a certain quantum variable acquires a value and which occurs in the future of the given hypersurface. This situation indicates that there is something fundamental that is missing in the most popular of the current approaches towards the construction of a theory of quantum gravity, or, alternatively, that there is something fundamental that we do not understand about entropy in general, or at least in its association with black holes.

The future prospects for anyone falling into a black hole are bleak. For one thing, there is no chance (according to our present state of knowledge) of ever getting out again. Worse, one is facing certain destruction when one meets the "singularity" (or its inconceivably dense physical manifestation, whatever that may be) inside. However, there is an "event horizon," the point of no return, separating the overly curious infalling astronaut from the doom he or she faces at the singularity. Suppose Alice the Astronaut wants to see what's behind the horizon (never mind the consequences). How much time would Alice have to look around and see what's happening, before reaching the end of her worldline? Conventional wisdom, until relatively recently, was that she would have some amount of time, perhaps hours. Passing the event horizon of a supermassive black hole would not seem like any kind of a milestone to the infalling individual; it is only an outside observer who would notice something out of the ordinary.

We consider behavior of equatorial geodesics with the negative energy in the ergoregion of a generic rotating "dirty" (surrounded by matter) black hole. It is shown that under very simple and generic conditions on the metric coefficients, there are no such circular orbits. This entails that such geodesic must originate and terminate under the event horizon. These results generalize the observation made for the Kerr metric in A. A. Grib, Yu. V. Pavlov and V. D. Vertogradov, Mod. Phys. Lett.29, 1450110 (2014), arXiv:1304.7360.

AbstractBosonic fields around a spinning black hole can be amplified via ‘superradiance’, a wave analogue of the Penrose process, which extracts energy and momentum from the black hole. For hypothetical ultra-light bosons, with Compton wavelengths on ≳ km scales, such a process can lead to the exponential growth of gravitationally bound states around astrophysical Kerr black holes. If such particles exist, as predicted in many theories of beyond Standard Model physics, then these bosonic clouds give rise to a number of potentially-observable signals. Among the most promising are monochromatic gravitational radiation signals which could be detected at Advanced LIGO and future gravitational wave observatories.

The use of isometric embeddings of curved geometries reveals their intrinsic structure in a way that is readily appreciated. This is done for 3 two-surfaces sliced from the Kerr metric which describes a rotating black hole: the equatorial plane, the event horizon, and the ergosurface.

AbstractGeodesic motion has significant characteristics of space-time. We calculate the principle Lyapunov exponent (LE), which is the inverse of the instability timescale associated with this geodesics and Kolmogorov–Senai (KS) entropy for our rotating Kerr–Kiselev (KK) black hole. We have investigate the existence of stable/unstable equatorial circular orbits via LE and KS entropy for time-like and null circular geodesics. We have shown that both LE and KS entropy can be written in terms of the radial equation of innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) for time-like circular orbit. Also, we computed the equation marginally bound circular orbit, which gives the radius (smallest real root) of marginally bound circular orbit (MBCO). We found that the null circular geodesics has larger angular frequency than time-like circular geodesics ($$Q_o > Q_{\sigma }$$ Q o > Q σ ). Thus, null-circular geodesics provides the fastest way to circulate KK black holes. Further, it is also to be noted that null circular geodesics has shortest orbital period $$(T_{photon}< T_{ISCO})$$ ( T photon < T ISCO ) among the all possible circular geodesics. Even null circular geodesics traverses fastest than any stable time-like circular geodesics other than the ISCO.

Perturbative solutions to the fourth-order gravity describing spherically-symmetric, static and electrically charged black hole in an asymptotically de Sitter universe is constructed and discussed. Special emphasis is put on the lukewarm configurations, in which the temperature of the event horizon equals the temperature of the cosmological horizon.

By studying objects outside our Solar System, we can observe star systems with far greater gravitational fields. ‘Extrasolar tests of gravity’ considers stars of different sizes that have undergone gravitational collapse, including white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. A black hole consists of a region of space-time enclosed by a surface called an event horizon. The gravitational field of a black hole is so strong that anything that finds its way inside the event horizon can never escape. Other star systems considered are binary pulsars and triple star systems. With the invention of even more powerful telescopes, there will be more tantalizing possibilities for testing gravity in the future.

We study the four-dimensional (i) modified Bardeen black hole, (ii) modified Hayward black hole, (iii) charged regular black hole and (iv) magnetically charged regular black hole. For modified Bardeen black hole and modified Hayward black hole, we found only one horizon (event horizon) and then we found some thermodynamic quantities like the entropy, surface area, irreducible mass, temperature, Komar energy and specific heat capacity on the event horizon. We here study the bounds of the above thermodynamic quantities for these black holes on the event horizon. Then, we examine the thermodynamics stability of the black holes with some conditions. Next, we studied the charged regular black hole and magnetically charged regular black hole and found two horizons (Cauchy and event horizons) of these black holes. Then, we found the entropy, surface area, irreducible mass, temperature, Komar energy and specific heat capacity on the Cauchy and event horizons. Then, we get some conditions for thermodynamic stability/instability of the black holes. We found the radius of the extremal horizon and Christodoulou–Ruffiini mass and then analyze the above thermodynamic quantities on the extremal horizon. We calculate the sum/subtraction, product, division and sum/subtraction of inverse of surface areas, entropies, irreducible masses, temperatures, Komar energies and specific heat capacities on both the horizons. From these, we found the bounds of the above quantities on the horizons.

To evaluate a potential usually one analyzes trajectories of test particles. For the Galactic Center case astronomers use bright stars or photons, so there are two basic observational techniques to investigate a gravitational potential, namely, (a) monitoring the orbits of bright stars near the Galactic Center as it is going on with 10m Keck twin and four 8m VLT telescopes equipped with adaptive optics facilities (in addition, recently the IR interferometer GRAVITY started to operate with VLT); (b) measuring the size and shape of shadows around black hole with VLBI-technique using telescopes operating in mm-band. At the moment, one can use a small relativistic correction approach for stellar orbit analysis, however, in the future the approximation will not be precise enough due to enormous progress of observational facilities and recently the GRAVITY team found that the first post-Newtonian correction has to be taken into account for the gravitational redshift in the S2 star orbit case. Meanwhile for smallest structure analysis in VLBI observations one really needs a strong gravitational field approximation. We discuss results of observations and their interpretations. In spite of great efforts there is a very slow progress to resolve dark matter (DM) and dark energy (DE) puzzles and in these circumstances in last years a number of alternative theories of gravity have been proposed. Parameters of these theories could be effectively constrained with of observations of the Galactic Center. We show some cases of alternative theories of gravity where their parameters are constrained with observations, in particular, we consider massive theory of gravity. We choose the alternative theory of gravity since there is a significant activity in this field and in the last years theorists demonstrated an opportunity to create such theories without ghosts, on the other hand, recently, the joint LIGO & Virgo team presented an upper limit on graviton mass such as mg< 1:2 × 10-22eV [1] analyzing gravitational wave signal in their first paper where they reported about the discovery of gravitational waves from binary black holes as it was suggested by C. Will [2]. So, the authors concluded that their observational data do not indicate a significant deviation from classical general relativity. We show that an analysis of bright star trajectories could estimate a graviton mass with a commensurable accuracy in comparison with an approach used in gravitational wave observations and the estimates obtained with these two approaches are consistent. Therefore, such an analysis gives an opportunity to treat observations of bright stars near the Galactic Center as a useful tool to obtain constraints on the fundamental gravity law. We showed that in the future graviton mass estimates obtained with analysis of trajectories of bright stars would be better than current LIGO bounds on the value, therefore, based on a potential reconstruction at the Galactic Center we obtain bounds on a graviton mass and these bounds are comparable with LIGO constraints. Analyzing size of shadows around the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center (or/and in the center of M87) one could constrain parameters of different alternative theories of gravity as well.
