The Gibbons-Werner method for calculating deflection angles using the Gauss-Bonnet theorem and optical/Jacobi metric has become widely popular in recent years. Werner extended this method to stationary spacetimes, where the optical/Jacobi…
In previous work, we developed tools for quantifying the tidal distortion of a black hole's event horizon due to an orbiting companion. These tools use techniques which require large mass ratios (companion mass $\mu$ much smaller than black…
The definition of well-behaved coordinate charts for black hole spacetimes can be tricky, as they can lead for example to either unphysical coordinate singularities in the metric (e.g. $r=2M$ in the Schwarzschild black hole) or to an…
Recently a short scale modified black hole metric, known as holographic metric, has been proposed in order to capture the self-complete character of gravity. In this paper we show that such a metric can reproduce some geometric features…
The spins of ten stellar black holes have been measured using the continuum-fitting method. These black holes are located in two distinct classes of X-ray binary systems, one that is persistently X-ray bright and another that is transient.…
The purpose of this paper is to enhance the conventional Komar integral to asymptotically anti-de Sitter (AdS) black holes. In order to do so, we first obtain a potential that is the linear combination of the usual Komar potential with two…
