Spontaneous scalarization

DD Doneva, FM Ramazanoğlu, HO Silva… - Reviews of Modern …, 2024 - APS
Scalarization is a mechanism that endows strongly self-gravitating bodies, such as neutron
stars and black holes, with a scalar-field configuration. It resembles a phase transition in that …

First Sagittarius A* event horizon telescope results. VI. Testing the black hole metric

K Akiyama, A Alberdi, W Alef, JC Algaba… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Astrophysical black holes are expected to be described by the Kerr metric. This is the only
stationary, vacuum, axisymmetric metric, without electromagnetic charge, that satisfies …

First Sagittarius A* Event Horizon Telescope results. IV. Variability, morphology, and black hole mass

K Akiyama, A Alberdi, W Alef, JC Algaba… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
In this paper we quantify the temporal variability and image morphology of the horizon-scale
emission from Sgr A*, as observed by the EHT in 2017 April at a wavelength of 1.3 mm. We …

Mission: Final Results of the Test of the Equivalence Principle

R Abuter, N Aimar, A Amorim, J Ball… - Astronomy & …, 2022 - aanda.org
Stars orbiting the compact radio source Sgr A* in the Galactic Center serve as precision
probes of the gravitational field around the closest massive black hole. In addition to …

Constraints on black-hole charges with the 2017 EHT observations of M87

P Kocherlakota, L Rezzolla, H Falcke, CM Fromm… - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
Our understanding of strong gravity near supermassive compact objects has recently

Comparing equivalent gravities: common features and differences

S Capozziello, V De Falco, C Ferrara - The European Physical Journal C, 2022 - Springer
We discuss equivalent representations of gravity in the framework of metric-affine
geometries pointing out basic concepts from where these theories stem out. In particular, we …
