Accretion dynamics of thin and thick disks in charged Kalb-Ramond black holes

Ednaldo L. B. Junior, José Tarciso S. S. Junior, Francisco S. N. Lobo +5

In this work, we investigate the accretion properties of an electrically charged, static, spherically symmetric black hole in Kalb-Ramond (KR) gravity, where a dimensionless parame…

Black bounce sourced by non-minimally coupled linear electrodynamics and a canonical scalar field through a thin shell at the throat

Ednaldo L. B. Junior, José Tarciso S. S. Junior, Francisco S. N. Lobo +5

We construct a novel class of black bounce solutions within General Relativity, sourced by a canonical scalar field non-minimally coupled to linear electrodynamics, establishing a…

Black bounce solutions in a realistic dark matter halo from M60*

Ednaldo L. B. Junior, José Tarciso S. S. Junior, Francisco S. N. Lobo +5

We formulate a Simpson-Visser black bounce solution embedded in a dark matter halo. The latter is modeled using an empirical density profile calibrated from observations of the ell…

Regular Black Holes in General Relativity from Nonlinear Electrodynamics with de Sitter Cores

A. A. Araújo Filho, Ednaldo L. B. Junior, José Tarciso S. S. Junior +6

We present new regular black hole solutions in general relativity (GR) within a static, spherically symmetric framework governed by a variable equation of state, following the appr…

Black hole shadows in nonminimally coupled Weyl connection gravity

Cláudio Gomes, Margarida Lima, Francisco S. N. Lobo +1

We study black hole shadows in nonminimally coupled Weyl connection gravity, a metric-affine extension of general relativity in which spacetime is described by a metric and a Weyl…

Black bounce solutions via nonminimal scalar-electrodynamic couplings

Daniela S. J. Cordeiro, Ednaldo L. B. Junior, José Tarciso S. S. Junior +5

Black-bounce (BB) solutions generalize the spacetimes of black holes, regular black holes, and wormholes, depending on the values of certain characteristic parameters. In this work…

Constraints on the -parameter for the vacuum solution of Cotton gravity with geodesics and shadows

Ednaldo L. B. Junior, José Tarciso S. S. Junior, Francisco S. N. Lobo +4

We consider a recently introduced extension of General Relativity dubbed as Cotton gravity (CG), based on the use of the Cotton tensor, to estimate the size of a new constant a…

Black bounces in Cotton gravity

Ednaldo L. B. Junior, José Tarciso S. S. Junior, Francisco S. N. Lobo +4

Recently, J. Harada proposed a theory relating gravity to the Cotton tensor, dubbed as ''Cotton gravity'' (CG). This is an extension of General Relativity such that every solution…

Gravitational lensing of a Schwarzschild-like black hole in Kalb-Ramond gravity

Ednaldo L. B. Junior, José Tarciso S. S. Junior, Francisco S. N. Lobo +4

In this paper, we investigate the gravitational lensing effect for the Schwarzschild-like black hole spacetime in the background of a Kalb-Ramond (KR) field proposed in [K. Yang et…

Spontaneous Lorentz symmetry-breaking constraints in Kalb-Ramond gravity

Ednaldo L. B. Junior, José Tarciso S. S. Junior, Francisco S. N. Lobo +4

In this work, we study timelike and lightlike geodesics in Kalb-Ramond (KR) gravity around a black hole with the goal of constraining the Lorentz symmetry-breaking parameter . T…

Observations on the massive particle surface method

Ednaldo L. B. Junior, José Tarciso S. S. Junior, Francisco S. N. Lobo +3

The geodesic method has played a crucial role in understanding the circular orbits generated by compact objects, culminating in the definition of the photon sphere, which was later…

Photon rings as tests for alternative spherically symmetric geometries with thin accretion disks

Luís F. Dias da Silva, Francisco S. N. Lobo, Gonzalo J. Olmo +1

The imaging by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) of the supermassive central objects at the heart of the M87 and Milky Way (Sgr A) galaxies, has marked the first step into…
