Shadows of charged rotating black holes: Kerr-Newman versus Kerr-Sen
Sérgio Vinicius M. C. B. Xavier, Pedro V. P. Cunha, Luís C. B. Crispino +1
Celebrating the centennial of its first experimental test, the theory of General Relativity (GR) has successfully and consistently passed all subsequent tests with flying colours.…
Spinning black holes in shift-symmetric Horndeski theory
Jorge F. M. Delgado, Carlos A. R. Herdeiro, Eugen Radu
We construct spinning black holes (BHs) in shift-symmetric Horndeski theory. This is an Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet model wherein the (real) scalar field couples linearly to the G…
Einstein-Maxwell-scalar black holes: the hot, the cold and the bald
Jose Luis Blázquez-Salcedo, Carlos A. R. Herdeiro, Jutta Kunz +2
The phenomenon of spontaneous scalarisation of charged black holes (BHs) has recently motivated studies of various Einstein-Maxwell-scalar models. Within these models, different cl…
Lensing and shadow of a black hole surrounded by a heavy accretion disk
Pedro V. P. Cunha, Nelson A. Eiró, Carlos A. R. Herdeiro +1
We consider a static, axially symmetric spacetime describing the superposition of a Schwarzschild black hole (BH) with a thin and heavy accretion disk. The BH-disk configuration is…
Dynamically and thermodynamically stable black holes in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton gravity
Dumitru Astefanesei, Jose Luis Blázquez-Salcedo, Carlos Herdeiro +2
We consider Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton gravity with the non-minimal exponential coupling between the dilaton and the Maxwell field emerging from low energy heterotic string theory. T…
EHT constraint on the ultralight scalar hair of the M87 supermassive black hole
Pedro V. P. Cunha, Carlos A. R. Herdeiro, Eugen Radu
Hypothetical ultralight bosonic fields will spontaneously form macroscopic bosonic halos around Kerr black holes, via superradiance, transferring part of the mass and angular momen…
Non-linear dynamics of spinning bosonic stars: formation and stability
N. Sanchis-Gual, F. Di Giovanni, M. Zilhão +4
We perform numerical evolutions of the fully non-linear Einstein-(complex, massive)Klein-Gordon and Einstein-(complex)Proca systems, to assess the formation and stability of spinni…
Boson and Dirac stars in dimensions
Jose Luis Blázquez-Salcedo, Christian Knoll, Eugen Radu
We present a comparative study of spherically symmetric, localized, particle-like solutions for spin and gravitating fields in a -dimensional, asymptotically flat…
Synchronized stationary clouds in a static fluid
Carolina L. Benone, Luís C. B. Crispino, Carlos A. R. Herdeiro +1
The existence of stationary bound states for the hydrodynamic velocity field between two concentric cylinders is established. We argue that rotational motion, together with a trapp…
Non-perturbative spinning black holes in dynamical Chern-Simons gravity
Terence Delsate, Carlos Herdeiro, Eugen Radu
Spinning black holes in dynamical Einstein-Chern-Simons gravity are constructed by directly solving the field equations, without resorting to any perturbative expansion. This model…
Head-on collisions and orbital mergers of Proca stars
Nicolas Sanchis-Gual, Carlos Herdeiro, José A. Font +2
Proca stars are self-gravitating Bose-Einstein condensates obtained as numerical stationary solutions of the Einstein-(complex)-Proca system. These solitonic can be both stable and…
Shadows of Exact Binary Black Holes
Pedro V. P. Cunha, Carlos A. R. Herdeiro, Maria J. Rodriguez
Black hole (BH) shadows in dynamical binary BHs (BBHs) have been produced via ray-tracing techniques on top of expensive fully non-linear numerical relativity simulations. We show…
Horizon geometry for Kerr black holes with synchronised hair
Jorge F. M. Delgado, Carlos A. R. Herdeiro, Eugen Radu
We study the horizon geometry of Kerr black holes (BHs) with scalar synchronised hair, a family of solutions of the Einstein-Klein-Gordon system that continuously connects to vacuu…
An analytic effective model for hairy black holes
Yves Brihaye, Thomas Delplace, Carlos Herdeiro +1
Hairy black holes (BHs) have macroscopic degrees of freedom which are not associated with a Gauss law. As such, these degrees of freedom are not manifest as quasi-local quantities…
Does the black hole shadow probe the event horizon geometry?
Pedro V. P. Cunha, Carlos A. R. Herdeiro, Maria J. Rodriguez
There is an exciting prospect of obtaining the shadow of astrophysical black holes (BHs) in the near future with the Event Horizon Telescope. As a matter of principle, this justifi…
Superradiant instabilities in the Kerr-mirror and Kerr-AdS black holes with Robin boundary conditions
Hugo R. C. Ferreira, Carlos A. R. Herdeiro
It has been recently observed that a scalar field with Robin boundary conditions (RBCs) can trigger both a superradiant and a bulk instability for a BTZ black hole (BH). To underst…
Iron K line of Kerr black holes with Proca hair
Menglei Zhou, Cosimo Bambi, Carlos A. R. Herdeiro +1
We continue our study on the capabilities of present and future X-ray missions to test the nature of astrophysical black hole candidates via X-ray reflection spectroscopy and disti…
Numerical evolutions of spherical Proca stars
Nicolas Sanchis-Gual, Carlos Herdeiro, Eugen Radu +2
Vector boson stars, or , have been recently obtained as fully non-linear numerical solutions of the Einstein-(complex)-Proca system. These are self-gravitatin…
Iron K line of Proca stars
Tianling Shen, Menglei Zhou, Cosimo Bambi +2
X-ray reflection spectroscopy can be a powerful tool to test the nature of astrophysical black holes. Extending previous work on Kerr black holes with scalar hair [1] and on boson…
Astrophysical imaging of Kerr black holes with scalar hair
F. H. Vincent, E. Gourgoulhon, C. Herdeiro +1
We address the astrophysical imaging of a family of deformed Kerr black holes (BHs). These are stationary, asymptotically flat black hole (BH) spacetimes, that are solutions of Gen…
Inside black holes with synchronized hair
Yves Brihaye, Carlos Herdeiro, Eugen Radu
Recently, various examples of asymptotically flat, rotating black holes (BHs) with synchronized hair have been explicitly constructed, including Kerr BHs with scalar or Proca hair,…
Shadows of Kerr black holes with and without scalar hair
Pedro V. P. Cunha, Carlos A. R. Herdeiro, Eugen Radu +1
For an observer, the Black Hole (BH) shadow is the BH's apparent image in the sky due to the gravitational lensing of nearby radiation, emitted by an external source. A recent clas…
Kerr black holes with Proca hair
Carlos Herdeiro, Eugen Radu, Helgi Runarsson
Bekenstein proved that in Einstein's gravity minimally coupled to one (or many) real, Abelian, Proca field, stationary black holes (BHs) cannot have Proca hair. Dropping Bekenstein…
Einstein-Maxwell-Anti-de-Sitter spinning solitons
Carlos Herdeiro, Eugen Radu
Electrostatics on global Anti-de-Sitter (AdS) spacetime is sharply different from that on global Minkowski spacetime. It admits a multipolar expansion with everywhere regular, fini…
