Recent observations of the orbits of star clusters around Sgr $A^\star$, imaging of black holes and gravitational waveforms of merging compact objects require a detailed understanding of the general relativistic geodesic motion. We came up…
While non-rotating black-hole solutions are well known in Einstein--\ae{}ther gravity, no axisymmetric solutions endowed with Killing horizons have been so far found outside of the slowly rotating limit. Here we show that the Kerr spacetime…
While it is known that any spherical fluid distribution may only source the spherically symmetric Schwarzschild space-time, the inverse is not true. Thus, in this manuscript, we find exact axially symmetric and static fluid (interior)…
Recent works by the second author and Maxwell et al. have shown that the Einstein-scalar field conformal constraint equations are highly complex and generally intractable, even in the vacuum case. In this article, to gain a clearer…
