The no-hair theorems at work in the tidal disruption event AT2020afhd
Lorenzo Iorio
Recently, the coprecession of both the accretion disk and the jet formed following the tidal disruption event associated with the optical transient AT2020afhd, driven by a supermas…
The measurable impact of the 2pN spin-dependent accelerations on the jet precession of M87
Lorenzo Iorio
Motivated by recent accurate measurements of disk/jet coprecessions around some galactic supermassive black holes, the accelerations experienced by an uncharged, spinless object in…
Has Kronos devoured Planet Nine and its epigones?
Lorenzo Iorio
The Planet Nine hypothesis encompasses a body of about 5-8 Earth's masses whose orbital plane would be inclined to the ecliptic by one or two tens of degrees and whose perihelion d…
Gravitational perturbations of nonlocal black holes
Rocco D'Agostino, Vittorio De Falco
We derive the master equations governing axial and polar gravitational perturbations of a generic static and spherically symmetric black hole spacetime within the framework of the…
Confronting eikonal and post-Kerr methods with numerical evolution of scalar field perturbations in spacetimes beyond Kerr
Ciro De Simone, Sebastian H. Völkel, Kostas D. Kokkotas +2
The accurate computation of quasinormal modes from rotating black holes beyond general relativity is crucial for testing fundamental physics with gravitational waves. In this study…
Compact binary system dynamics at the second post-Newtonian order: analytical formula of the coordinate time for eccentric and circular orbits
Vittorio De Falco, Marco Gallo
This work is based on the letter Phys. Lett. B, 865, 139484 (2025), where we developed the analytical expression of the coordinate time in terms of the eccentric anomaly at the sec…
Can the jet precession of M87 be caused by a distant intermediate-mass black hole?
Lorenzo Iorio
The long-term rates of change of all the Keplerian orbital elements of a two-body system acted upon by a remote massive pointlike object are analytically worked out, to the Newtoni…
Nethotrons: exploring the possibility of measuring relativistic spin precessions, from Earth's satellites to the Galactic Centre
Lorenzo Iorio
By ``nethotrons'', from the ancient Greek verb for to ``spin'', it is meant here a natural or artificial rotating object, like a pulsar or an artificial satellite, whose rotational…
Analytical coordinate time at the second post-Newtonian order
Vittorio De Falco, Marco Gallo
We derive the analytical expression of the coordinate time in terms of the eccentric anomaly at the second post-Newtonian order in General Relativity for a compact binary s…
Will LAGEOS and LARES 2 succeed in accurately measuring frame-dragging?
Lorenzo Iorio
The current LAGEOS-LARES 2 experiment aims to accurately measure the general relativistic Lense-Thirring effect in the gravitomagnetic field of the spinning Earth generated by the…
Using the Difference of the Inclinations of a Pair of Counter-Orbiting Satellites to Measure the Lense-Thirring Effect
Lorenzo Iorio
Let two test particles A and B revolving about a spinning primary along ideally identical orbits in opposite directions be considered. From the general expressions of the precessio…
The no-hair theorems at work in M87
Lorenzo Iorio
Recently, a perturbative calculation to the first post-Newtonian order has shown that the analytically worked out Lense-Thirring precession of the orbital angular momentum of a tes…
The Lense-Thirring effect at work in M87
Lorenzo Iorio
Recently, the temporal evolution of the angles characterizing the spatial configuration of the jet in the supermassive black hole M87 was measured exhibiting a precessional…
On the Euler-type gravitomagnetic orbital effects in the field of a precessing body
Lorenzo Iorio
To the first post-Newtonian order, the gravitational action of mass-energy currents is encoded by the off-diagonal gravitomagnetic components of the spacetime metric tensor. If the…
Mass-energy equivalence and the gravitational redshift: Does energy always have mass?
Germano D'Abramo
One of the most widespread interpretations of the mass-energy equivalence establishes that not only can mass be transformed into energy (e.g., through nuclear fission, fusion, or a…
Measuring a gravitomagentic effect with the triple pulsar PSR J0337+1715
Lorenzo Iorio
To the first post--Newtonian order, the orbital angular momentum of the fast--revolving inner binary of the triple system PSR J0337+1715, made of a millisecond pulsar and a white d…
The post-Newtonian motion around an oblate spheroid: the mixed orbital effects due to the Newtonian oblateness and the post-Newtonian mass monopole accelerations
Lorenzo Iorio
When a test particle moves about an oblate spheroid, it is acted upon, among other things, by two standard perturbing accelerations. One, of Newtonian origin, is due to the quadrup…
When the anomalistic, draconitic and sidereal orbital periods do not coincide: the impact of post-Keplerian perturbing accelerations
Lorenzo Iorio
In a purely Keplerian picture, the anomalistic, draconitic and sidereal orbital periods of a test particle orbiting a massive body coincide with each other. Such a degeneracy is re…
Review of the Gravitomagnetic Clock Effect
Lorenzo Iorio, Bahram Mashhoon
The general relativistic gravitomagnetic clock effect, in its simplest form, consists of the non-vanishing difference in the orbital periods of two counter-orbiting objects moving…
Post-Newtonian orbital effects induced by the mass quadrupole and spin octupole moments of an axisymmetric body
Lorenzo Iorio
The post-Newtonian orbital effects induced by the mass quadrupole and spin octupole moments of an isolated, oblate spheroid of constant density that is rigidly and uniformly rotati…

Limitations in Testing the Lense-Thirring Effect with LAGEOS and the Newly Launched Geodetic Satellite LARES 2
Lorenzo Iorio
The new geodetic satellite LARES 2, cousin of LAGEOS and sharing with it almost the same orbital parameters apart from the inclination, displaced by 180 deg, was launched last year…
