We investigate neutron stars in scalar-tensor theories. We examine their secular stability against spherically symmetric perturbations by use of a turning point method. For some choices of the coupling function contained in the theories, the number of the stable equilibrium solutions changes and the realized equilibrium may change discontinuously as the asymptotic value of the scalar field or total baryon number is changed continuously. The behaviour of the stable equilibrium solutions is explained by fold and cusp catastrophes. Whether the cusp catastrophe appears or not depends on the choices of the coupling function. These types of the catastrophes are structurally stable. Recently discovered spontaneous scalarization, which is non-perturbative strong-field phenomenon due to the presence of the gravitational scalar field, is well described in terms of the cusp catastrophe.

Nature of phase transitions and metastability in scalar-tensor theories
In the canonical scalar-tensor scalarization model, the onset of scalarization is a first-order phase transition across most of the parameter space, creating metastable neutron star configurations.

Tidal Love Numbers of Neutron Stars in Horndeski Theories
In scalar-tensor theories, the 1/r^3 term used to extract neutron star tidal Love numbers contains a Love-number-independent contamination, computed here for minimally coupled and DEF scalar fields.

Equatorial Periodic Orbits and Gravitational Wave Phenomenology around Spherically-symmetric vacuum solution in Freund-Nambu scalar-tensor gravity
Scalar couplings in Freund-Nambu gravity shift ISCO inward and produce detectable temporal dephasing in EMRI gravitational wave bursts while preserving orbit topology.

Optical and orbital characterization of spherically symmetric static black holes of self-gravitating new nonlinear electrodynamics model
PINLED Y^n black holes have charge-driven inward shifts of photon sphere, shadow, and ISCO, with null-geodesic observables distinguishing them from RN more clearly than timelike ones.
