Gravitational lensing by a Horndeski black hole
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2017 In this article we study gravitational lensing by non-rotating and asymptotically flat black holes in Horndeski theory. By adopting the strong deflection limit, we calculate the deflection angle, from which we obtain the positions and the magnifications ...

Classical and thermodynamic stability of black holes [PDF]
, 2010 We consider the stability of black holes within both classical general relativity and the semiclassical thermodynamic description. In particular, we study linearised perturbations and their contributions to the gravitational partition function. Exploring

Supermassive Black Holes [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, Gravitation and Cosmology, 2019 In the following black hole model, electrons and positrons form a neutral gas which is confined by gravitation. The smaller masses are supported against gravity by electron degeneracy pressure. Larger masses are supported by ideal gas and radiation pressure. In each case, the gas is a polytrope which satisfies the Lane-Emden equation.

Formation of Supermassive Black Hole Seeds [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia, 2016 AbstractThe detection of quasars at z > 6 unveils the presence of supermassive black holes of a few billion solar masses. The rapid formation process of these extreme objects remains a fascinating and open issue. Such discovery implies that seed black holes must have formed early on, and grown via either rapid accretion or BH/galaxy mergers. In this

Eötvös experiments with supermassive black holes [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016 By examining the locations of central black holes in two elliptical galaxies, M\,32 and M\,87, we derive constraints on the violation of the strong equivalence principle for purely gravitational objects, i.e. black holes, of less than about two-thirds, $η_N<0.68$ from the gravitational interaction of M\,87 with its neighbours in the Virgo cluster ...

Annalen der Physik, Volume 538, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT The unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity remains a central problem in fundamental physics. Here, we study the gravitomagnetic Aharonov–Bohm (AB) effect for Cooper pairs in Kerr spacetime. Frame‐dragging by a rotating black hole (BH) generates an effective vector potential through the off‐diagonal metric term gtϕ$g_{t\phi }$,

Supermassive Black Hole Growth in Hierarchically Merging Nuclear Star Clusters
The Astrophysical JournalSupermassive black holes are prevalent at the centers of massive galaxies, and their masses scale with galaxy properties, increasing evidence suggesting that these trends continue to low stellar masses.

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 The recent Chandra-JWST discovery of a quasar in the z ≈ 10.1 galaxy UHZ1 reveals that accreting supermassive black holes were already in place 470 million years after the Big Bang. The Chandra X-ray source detected in UHZ1 is a Compton-thick quasar with

Primordial black holes as dark matter candidates
SciPost Physics Lecture Notes, 2022 We review the formation and evaporation of primordial black holes (PBHs) and their possible contribution to dark matter. Various constraints suggest they could only provide most of it in the mass windows $10^{17}$ - $10^{23}\,$g or $10$ - $10^{2}\,M_ ...
