No definitive lensing is detected in GW231123, though a potential microlensing feature with modulation amplitude up to 0.8 at 95% confidence is noted, limited by large waveform systematics in short signals.
Kerr-MOG accretion disk spectra are softer than Kerr at fixed spin due to outward ISCO shift from the fifth-force parameter α, with an observational upper limit α < 0.044 from LMC X-1 data.
A Monte Carlo model of a Kerr black hole corona shows that photon collisions create a dense electron-positron pair cloud concentrated near the black hole, yielding X-ray temperatures, Compton parameters, and 4-10% polarization consistent with binary black hole observations.
Time-reversed Shannon entropy distinguishes chaotic from regular orbits in Kerr and Schwarzschild-Melvin spacetimes by quantifying forward-backward asymmetry in probability distributions.
A new public relativistic transfer-function model reltrans for X-ray reverberation mapping that fits both spectra and lags to measure black-hole masses.
Citizen science discovery of a bow-and-arrow radio galaxy with ~560 kpc bow-shock-like structure in a multi-halo environment at z=0.159.
External quadrupolar distortion imprints on orbital dynamics and accretion structure in thin disks around deformed compact objects, with the radiating region's outer edge tied to the radiation-to-gas pressure transition.
A Kaluza-Klein boost on Kerr-Taub-NUT enlarges the physical ergoregion volume without altering horizon radius, entropy, or temperature, while adding dyonic work terms to the first law.
Centrifugal and gravitational forces both raise magnetic reconnection rates near Kerr black holes, with gravity separating charges and centrifugal force shortening the current sheet via curved geometry seen by a comoving observer.
MHD and GRMHD simulations of magnetized accretion flows around rotating black holes show distinct bolometric luminosities and synchrotron-to-SSC peak ratios between SANE and MAD states that can distinguish magnetic field properties.
Observational evidence links obscured super-Eddington accretion to slower precessing jets in stellar-mass compact object systems, contrasting with fixed fast jets in low-density environments.
Increasing enclosed dark matter normalization lowers the flip frequency relative to Kerr while more extended DM profiles weaken the response in the effective response model.
EHT angular diameter data yield upper bounds on the holonomy correction b (e.g., b ≤ 0.1319M at a=0 for M87*) showing nonzero b remains consistent with observations for RHCBH spacetimes.
Extends intrinsic curvature criteria for massive particle surfaces to stationary spacetimes and demonstrates application to black hole shadows in Kerr-family and Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton solutions.
Energy extraction via Comisso-Asenjo magnetic reconnection from rotating dyonic black holes in N=2 U(1)^2 gauged supergravity is possible but tightly limited by gauge coupling g and dyonic charges, peaking at intermediate spins rather than near-extremal.
A review summarizing detection methods, population statistics, and coevolution of supermassive black holes with host galaxies from early universe observations and simulations.
Lecture notes deriving gravitational wave physics from first principles in general relativity for PhD and advanced MSc students.
