We review the energy contents formulae of Kerr-Newman black-holes, where gravitomagnetic energy term comes to play(Berman, 2006; 2006a; 2004). Then, we obtain the angular momenta formulae, which include the gravitomagnetic effect. Three…

We study the mass-charge relation for the semiclassical extremal black hole of the $S$-wave sector Einstein-Maxwell theory coupled to $N$ conformal scalars. The classical ratio $M/{|Q|}=1$ is shown to be modified to $M/{|Q|} \simeq 1-k/6$…
Binary black holes with spins that are aligned with the orbital angular momentum do not precess. However, post-Newtonian calculations predict that "up-down" binaries, in which the spin of the heavier (lighter) black hole is aligned…
