Extremal bifurcations of rotating AdS4 black holes
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 The Weak Gravity Conjecture arises from the assertion that all extremal black holes, even those which are “classical” in the sense of being very massive, must decay by quantum-mechanical emission of particles or smaller black holes.

Tidal forces in dirty black hole spacetimes
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2022 Black holes can be inserted in very rich astrophysical environments, such as accretion disks. Although isolated black holes are simple objects in general relativity, their accretion disks may significantly enrich the field configurations of their ...

Hair of Astrophysical Black Holes [PDF]
, 2014 The "no hair" theorem is not applicable to black holes formed from collapse of a rotating neutron star. Rotating neutron stars can self-produce particles via vacuum breakdown forming a highly conducting plasma magnetosphere such that magnetic field lines are effectively "frozen-in" the star both before and during collapse.

Neutrino treatment in multidimensional astrophysical simulations : a new spectral scheme [PDF]
, 2014 Neutrinos play a central role in modern physics and astrophysics. Their extremely weak interaction rate with baryons and other leptons makes their detection on the Earth difficult and challenging.

Electric Currents along Astrophysical Jets
Galaxies, 2017 Astrophysical black holes and their surrounding accretion disks are believed to be threaded by grand design helical magnetic fields. There is strong theoretical evidence that the main driver of their winds and jets is the Lorentz force generated by these

Rotating black holes in Horndeski gravity: thermodynamic and gravitational lensing
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2022 The lack of rotating black holes, typically found in nature, hinders testing modified gravity from astrophysical observations. We present the axially symmetric counterpart of an existing spherical hairy black hole in Horndeski gravity having additional ...

The THESEUS Space Mission and the Infrared Telescope Calibration Unit
Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Transient High‐Energy Sky and Early Universe Surveyor (THESEUS) is an ESA M7 mission concept currently in Phase A, designed to exploit gamma‐ray bursts to probe the early Universe while advancing multi‐messenger and time‐domain astrophysics. To achieve its ambitious goals, THESEUS will combine wide‐band x‐ray and gamma‐ray monitors with an
