abstract
We consider the possibility that astrophysical Black Holes (BHs) can violate the Kerr bound; i.e., they can have angular momentum greater than BH mass, $J > M$. We discuss implications on the BH apparent shape. Even if the bound is violated by a small amount, the shadow cast by the BH changes significantly (it is $\sim$ an order of magnitude smaller) from the case with $J \le M$ and can be used as a clear observational signature in the search for super--spinning BHs. We discuss briefly recent observations in the mm range of the super--massive BH at the Center of the Galaxy, speculating on the possibility that it might violate the Kerr bound.

Relativistic reflection spectra of super-spinning black holes
Fitting Suzaku reflection spectra with a super-spinning spacetime model finds apparent deviations from Kerr in Ark 120 and Swift J0501.9, but the 3-sigma claim is not consistently supported for Swift.

On new regular charged black hole solutions: Limiting Curvature Condition, Quasinormal modes and Shadows
The authors introduce two new regular black hole metrics from nonlinear electrodynamics and two Limiting Curvature Condition versions, with numerical results for stability, shadows, and quasinormal modes.

Effect of gravitational wave on shadow of a Schwarzschild black hole
Numerical ray tracing shows that a first-order gravitational perturbation makes a Schwarzschild black hole shadow oscillate, stretch, and develop self-similar fractal boundary structures over time.

On-axis scattering of scalar fields by charged rotating black holes
Numerical on-axis scalar scattering cross sections by Kerr-Newman black holes match classical and semiclassical results.

Testing black hole metrics with binary black hole inspirals
Constraints on deviations from Kerr black hole metrics are derived from binary black hole inspiral waveforms modeled with effective one-body methods and analyzed via the parameterized post-Einsteinian framework.
