Testing the nature of dark compact objects: a status report

V Cardoso, P Pani - Living Reviews in Relativity, 2019 - Springer
Very compact objects probe extreme gravitational fields and may be the key to understand
outstanding puzzles in fundamental physics. These include the nature of dark matter, the …

Black holes in galaxies: Environmental impact on gravitational-wave generation and propagation

V Cardoso, K Destounis, F Duque, RP Macedo… - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We introduce a family of solutions of Einstein's gravity minimally coupled to an anisotropic
fluid, describing asymptotically flat black holes with “hair” and a regular horizon. These …

Destabilizing the fundamental mode of black holes: the elephant and the flea

MHY Cheung, K Destounis, RP Macedo, E Berti… - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
Recent work applying the notion of pseudospectrum to gravitational physics showed that the
quasinormal mode spectrum of black holes is unstable, with the possible exception of the …

Physical significance of the black hole quasinormal mode spectra instability

V Cardoso, S Kastha, RP Macedo - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
It has been shown, via specific examples and a pseudospectrum analysis, that the black
hole quasinormal spectra are unstable. The implication of such a result for gravitational …

Silhouette of M87*: a new window to peek into the world of hidden dimensions

I Banerjee, S Chakraborty, S SenGupta - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
The recent observation of the shadow of the supermassive black hole M87*, located at the
center of the M87 galaxy, by the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration has opened up a …

[HTML][HTML] Further clarification on quasinormal modes/circular null geodesics correspondence

RA Konoplya - Physics Letters B, 2023 - Elsevier
The well-known correspondence between quasinormal modes of any stationary, spherically
symmetric and asymptotically flat or de Sitter black hole and parameters of the circular null …

Pseudospectrum and black hole quasinormal mode instability

JL Jaramillo, RP Macedo, LA Sheikh - Physical Review X, 2021 - APS
We study the stability of quasinormal modes (QNM) in asymptotically flat black hole
spacetimes by means of a pseudospectrum analysis. The construction of the Schwarzschild …

[HTML][HTML] Black holes in Starobinsky-Bel-Robinson Gravity and the breakdown of quasinormal modes/null geodesics correspondence

SV Bolokhov - Physics Letters B, 2024 - Elsevier
We show that perturbations of a scalar field in the background of the spherically symmetric
black hole obtained with the Starobinsky-Bel-Robinson Gravity are unstable unless the …

Quasinormal modes of quantum-corrected black holes

H Gong, S Li, D Zhang, G Fu, JP Wu - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
In this paper, we investigate the quasinormal mode (QNM) spectra for the scalar perturbation
over the quantum-corrected black hole (BH) known as the quantum Oppenheimer-Snyder …

Perturbing the perturbed: Stability of quasinormal modes in presence of a positive cosmological constant

S Sarkar, M Rahman, S Chakraborty - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
In this work, we wish to address the question—whether the quasinormal modes, the
characteristic frequencies associated with perturbed black hole spacetimes, central to the …
