Light rings and optical appearances of naked singularities, solitons, and black holes in beyond Horndeski gravity

Hyat Huang, Jutta Kunz, Rashmi Uniyal +1

We investigate the geodesic structure and optical appearance of compact objects with primary scalar hair in shift- and parity-symmetric beyond Horndeski gravity. The analytic solut…

Spin-Induced Nonlinear Scalarization of Kerr Black Holes in Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet Gravity

Meng-Yun Lai, Hyat Huang, Jutta Kunz +2

We investigate spin-induced scalarization of Kerr black holes in an Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet (EsGB) model that does not admit a linear tachyonic instability of the scalar-free…

Thermodynamics and phase transitions of nonlinearly scalarized black holes in Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet theory

De-Cheng Zou, Xu Yang, Meng-Yun Lai +2

We investigate the thermodynamic properties of static nonlinearly scalarized black holes in Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet theory with polynomial coupling functions. Based on the sca…

Phase Structure of Scalarized Black Holes in Einstein-Scalar-Gauss-Bonnet Gravity

Carlos Herdeiro, Hyat Huang, Jutta Kunz +3

We revisit scalarized black holes in Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity and analyze the thermodynamic phase transition between the Schwarzschild solution of general relativity an…

Existence of nonlinearly scalarized black holes in Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet theory with polynomial couplings

De-Cheng Zou, Xu Yang, Meng-Yun Lai +5

Nonlinearly scalarized black holes are investigated in Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet (EsGB) theory with polynomial coupling functions satisfying , where $ζ'(υ

On Coordinate Singularities Induced by Trapping Horizons

Jinbo Yang, Hongwei Tan, Hyat Huang +1

The trapping (or apparent) horizon serves as a key tool for tracing the complete evolution of black holes. We investigate a class of coordinate singularities induced by such trappi…
