Testing conformal gravity with astrophysical black holes

open access: yesPhysical Review D, 2017
Weyl conformal symmetry can solve the problem the spacetime singularities present in Einstein's gravity. In a recent paper, two of us have found a singularity-free rotating black hole solution in conformal gravity.

No-Hair Theorem for Black Holes in Astrophysical Environments [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2015
According to the no-hair theorem, static black holes are described by a Schwarzschild spacetime provided there are no other sources of the gravitational field. This requirement, however, is in astrophysical realistic scenarios often violated, e.g., if the black hole is part of a binary system or if it is surrounded by an accretion disk. In these cases,

Microscopic Origin of the Entropy of Astrophysical Black Holes

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters
We construct an infinite family of microstates for black holes in Minkowski spacetime which have effective semiclassical descriptions in terms of collapsing dust shells in the black hole interior. Quantum mechanical wormholes cause these states to have exponentially small, but universal, overlaps.

Bayesian evidence for both astrophysical and primordial black holes: mapping the GWTC-2 catalog to third-generation detectors

open access: yesJournal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2021
We perform a hierarchical Bayesian analysis of the GWTC-2 catalog to investigate the mixed scenario in which the merger events are explained by black holes of both astrophysical and primordial origin.

Astrophysical Black Holes: A Compact Pedagogical Review [PDF]

open access: yesAnnalen Der Physik, 2018
AbstractBlack holes are among the most extreme objects that can be found in the Universe and an ideal laboratory for testing fundamental physics. Here, the basic properties of black holes as expected from general relativity, the main astronomical observations, and the leading astrophysical techniques to probe the strong gravity region of these objects ...

Black Hole Astrophysics

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2010
Black holes are the simplest objects in nature. All the matter enter into it with the speed of light at the horizon and thus the inner boundary condition is fixed, independent of whether we study stellar mass black holes (nano‐quasars) or the massive (miliquasars) and super‐massive black holes (Quasars). All types of flows are thus transonic.

Astrophysics of Black Holes

1998
The black hole phenomenon is undoubtedly one of the most striking and intriguing of those predicted by theorists. However, a paramount question is: “Do black holes exist in the Universe, or are they only an abstract concept of the human mind?” In principle, a black hole could be built artificially.

Astrophysical Black Holes

2017
The chapter reviews the astrophysical observations of stellar-mass black holes, intermediate mass black holes, supermassive black holes, the observations supporting the idea that these objects are indeed black holes, and the spectral state classification.
