Strong Gravitational Lensing by Compact Object without Cauchy Horizons in Effective Quantum Gravity
Suvankar Paul
In this work, we theoretically investigate strong gravitational lensing effects and evaluate various lensing observables of a static, spherically symmetric solution in the context…
Shadows and thin accretion disk images of the -metric
Rajibul Shaikh, Suvankar Paul, Pritam Banerjee +1
The -metric is a static, axially-symmetric singular solution of the vacuum Einstein's equations without an event horizon. This is a two-parameter family of solutions, generic va…
A stellar constraint on Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity from cataclysmic variable binaries
Pritam Banerjee, Debojyoti Garain, Suvankar Paul +2
Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity is an important modification of Einstein's general relativity, which can give rise to non-singular cosmologies at the classical level, and av…
Strong gravitational lensing by a strongly naked null singularity
Suvankar Paul
We study strong gravitational lensing in a static, spherically symmetric, naked singularity spacetime, without a photon sphere. The nature of the singularity is found to be lightli…
Observational signatures of wormholes with thin accretion disks
Suvankar Paul, Rajibul Shaikh, Pritam Banerjee +1
We numerically construct images of thin accretion disks in rotating wormhole backgrounds, for the Kerr-like and the Teo class of wormholes. Our construction is illustrated by two m…
Strong gravitational lensing by wormholes
Rajibul Shaikh, Pritam Banerjee, Suvankar Paul +1
We study strong gravitational lensing by a class of static wormhole geometries. Analytical approaches to the same are developed, and the results differ substantially from strong le…
Analytical approach to strong gravitational lensing from ultracompact objects
Rajibul Shaikh, Pritam Banerjee, Suvankar Paul +1
Strong gravitational lensing from black holes results in the formation of relativistic images, in particular, relativistic Einstein rings. For objects with event horizons, the radi…
Tidal effects away from the equatorial plane in Kerr backgrounds
Pritam Banerjee, Suvankar Paul, Rajibul Shaikh +1
We study tidal effects on self-gravitating Newtonian stars rotating around a Kerr black hole in stable circular orbits away from the equatorial plane. Such cases are exemplified by…
A novel gravitational lensing feature by wormholes
Rajibul Shaikh, Pritam Banerjee, Suvankar Paul +1
Horizonless compact objects with light rings (or photon spheres) are becoming increasingly popular in recent years for several reasons. In this paper, we show that a horizonless ob…
On Strong Gravitational Lensing in Rotating Galactic Space-times
Pritam Banerjee, Suvankar Paul, Tapobrata Sarkar
We study strong gravitational lensing in rotating space-times which can be thought of as realistic galactic models in General Relativity. To this end, using the Newman-Janis algori…
Massless fermions in null Fermi coordinates and an application to analog gravity in -A
Pritam Banerjee, Suvankar Paul, Tapobrata Sarkar
Bogoliubov quasiparticles moving in the background of superfluid -A see an apparently curved space-time metric when the background superfluid vacuum is in motion. We s…
