From Density to Mass: A New Parametrized Framework for Dark Matter Environment Around Black Holes

Rajes Ghosh, Nicholas Speeney, Avijit Chowdhury +3

Astrophysical black holes (BHs) are not isolated vacuum objects but are expected to reside within complex environments, such as dark matter (DM) halos and baryonic distributions. S…

The Ringdown and the Tide: Fingerprints of Dark Matter Halo Profiles

Arkadip Bhowmik, Avijit Chowdhury, Sayan Chakrabarti

Astrophysical black holes (BH) are not isolated, but embedded in matter supplied by their host galaxies. We study how the shape of a surrounding dark matter (DM) halo modifies the…

Tidal deformation of an accreting compact object

Avijit Chowdhury, Chiranjeeb Singha, Kazuharu Bamba +1

Tidal deformation of a compact object serves as a sensitive probe of the strong-gravity regime and nature of the compact object. It captures how a compact object responds to the ex…

Dark matter halos and transonic accretion flow

Avijit Chowdhury, Gargi Sen, Sayan Chakrabarti +1

The interplay between supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and their surrounding environment is fundamental to understanding galactic evolution. This work investigates the influence of…

Effect of generic dark matter halo on transonic accretion onto galactic black holes

Avijit Chowdhury, Gargi Sen, Sayan Chakrabarti +1

The environment surrounding a black hole or black hole binaries is generally expected to play an important role in understanding various astrophysical phenomena around them. In thi…

Birkhoff's Theorem and Uniqueness: A Peek Beyond General Relativity

Rajes Ghosh, Akash K Mishra, Avijit Chowdhury

In General Relativity, Birkhoff's theorem asserts that any spherically symmetric vacuum solution must be static and asymptotically flat. In this paper, we study the validity of Bir…

Connecting quasi-normal modes with causality in Lovelock theories of gravity

Avijit Chowdhury, Akash K Mishra, Sumanta Chakraborty

The eikonal correspondence between the quasi-normal modes (QNMs) of asymptotically flat static spherically symmetric black holes and the properties of unstable null circular geodes…

Accreting Schwarzschild-like compact object: Plasma-photon interaction and stability

Avijit Chowdhury, Shauvik Biswas, Sumanta Chakraborty

Accretion is a common phenomenon associated with any astrophysical compact object, which is best described by plasma, a state of matter composed of electrons and heavy ions. In thi…
