One of the best ways to understand the gravitation of a massive object is by studying the photon's motion around it. We study the null geodesic of a regular black hole in anti-de Sitter spacetime, including a Gaussian matter distribution.…

As is well-known, the Schwarzschild metric cannot be derived based on pre-general-relativistic physics alone, which means using only special relativity, the Einstein equivalence principle and the Newtonian limit. The standard way to derive…
The Johannsen-Psaltis spacetime describes a rotating black hole with parametric deviations from the Kerr metric. By construction this spacetime explicitly violates the no-hair theorems. Rotating black hole solutions in any modified theory…
We construct a pseudo-Newtonian potential (PNP) corresponding to a rotating black hole solution in a modified gravity (MGR) framework using a metric-based prescription. The motivation is to enable realistic accretion disk studies in MGR,…
We present a method for computing the evolution of a spacetime containing a massive particle and a black hole. The essential idea is that the gravitational field is evolved using full numerical relativity, with the particle generating a…
Gravitational wave memory is an important prediction of general relativity. The detection of the gravitational wave memory can be used to test general relativity and to deduce the property of the gravitational wave source. Quantitative…
The Schwarzschild metric is derived in a manner that does not require familiarity with the formalism of differential geometry beyond the ability to interpret a general spacetime metric. As such, the derivation is suitable for an…
