In this review, I have tried to focus on the development of the field, from the first speculations to the current lines of research. According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, black holes are relatively simple objects and completely characterized by their mass, spin angular momentum, and electric charge, but the latter can be ignored in the case of astrophysical macroscopic objects. Search for black holes in the sky started in the early 1970s with the dynamical measurement of the mass of the compact object in Cygnus X-1. In the past 10-15 years, astronomers have developed some techniques for measuring the black hole spins. Recently, we have started using astrophysical black holes for testing fundamental physics.

  1. Constraints and Consistency of Rotating Regular Black Hole Thermodynamics

    gr-qc 2026-01 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    For rotating regular black holes, the thermodynamic Hawking temperature is order-dependent under the regularity constraint; only computing in the full phase space before imposing the constraint reproduces the geometri...

  2. Constraining primordial black holes and primordial curvature power spectrum with extragalactic muon neutrino

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Neutrino flux from WIMP annihilation in PBH-seeded UCMHs yields f_PBH ≲ 4×10^{-5} (strongest) and P_R ≲ 10^{-1.65} at k∼3×10^{12} Mpc^{-1}.

  3. The Case for Astrons

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    A sparse population of primordial charged compact objects is hypothesized with specific parameters and shown to face severe plasma-screening and neutralization constraints while failing to produce late-time accelerati...

  4. Astrons: Reissner-Nordstr\"om Primordial Naked Singularities

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    Constraints on primordial charged naked singularities (astrons) show charge saturation and plasma screening limit their viability, with homogeneous energy density scaling as a^{-4} providing no late-time acceleration.
