Black Hole Chemistry: the FIrst 15 years [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics DThe introduction of thermodynamics into gravitational physics began 5 decades ago with the discovery that black holes behave like thermodynamic systems once semiclassical quantum effects are taken into account.

Fundamental Physics Implications for Higher-Curvature Theories from Binary Black Hole Signals in the LIGO-Virgo Catalog GWTC-1. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2019 Gravitational-wave astronomy offers not only new vistas into the realm of astrophysics, but it also opens an avenue for probing, for the first time, general relativity in its strong-field, nonlinear, and dynamical regime, where the theory's predictions ...

Black hole attractors and the entropy function in four- and five-dimensional N=2 supergravity [PDF]
, 2007 Extremal black holes in theories of gravity coupled to abelian gauge fields and neutral scalars, such as those arising in the low-energy description of compactifications of string theory on Calabi-Yau manifolds, exhibit the attractor phenomenon: on the ...

Physics of Pair Producing Gaps in Black Hole Magnetospheres [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2018 In some low-luminosity accreting supermassive black hole systems, the supply of plasma in the funnel region can be a problem. It is believed that a local region with an unscreened electric field can exist in the black hole magnetosphere, accelerating ...

Basics of Apparent horizons in black hole physics [PDF]
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2022 Abstract 1Event Horizon, a null hypersurface defining the boundary of the black hole region of a spacetime, is not particularly useful for evolving black holes since it is non-local in time. Instead, one uses the more tangible concept of Apparent Horizon for dynamical black holes out there in the sky that do all sorts ...

Fifty Years After the Discovery of the First Stellar-Mass Black Hole: A Review of Cyg X-1
GalaxiesAround 50 years ago, the famous bet between Stephen Hawking and Kip Thorne on whether Cyg X-1 hosts a stellar-mass black hole became a well-known story in the history of black hole science.

Inferences about Supernova Physics from Gravitational-Wave Measurements: GW151226 Spin Misalignment as an Indicator of Strong Black-Hole Natal Kicks. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2017 The inferred parameters of the binary black hole GW151226 are consistent with nonzero spin for the most massive black hole, misaligned from the binary's orbital angular momentum.

Horizon replicas in black hole shadows
Nuclear Physics BRecently, new exploratory channels have opened up for the physics of highly compact objects, such as gravitational waves and black hole shadows. Moreover, more precise analysis and observations are now possible in the physics of accretion around compact ...
