This chapter provides a brief introduction to the Kerr spacetime and rotating black holes, touching on the most common coordinate representations of the spacetime metric and the key features of the geometry -- the presence of horizons and…
As demonstrated by observations, every stellar-mass object rotates around some axis; some objects spin faster than others due to different mechanisms. Furthermore, these spinning objects are slightly deformed and are no longer perfect…
We derived the second post-Newtonian solution for the quasi-Keplerian motion of a charged test particle in the Reissner-Nordstr\"om spacetime under the harmonic coordinates. The solution is formulated in terms of the test particle's orbital…
We study the strong gravitational lensing on the equatorial plane of a quasi-Kerr compact object with arbitrary quadrupole moments which can be used to model the super-massive central object of the galaxy. We find that, when the quadrupolar…
This is a survey of a new type of relativistic space-time framework; the so-called quasi-metric framework. The basic geometric structure underlying quasi-metric relativity is quasi-metric space-time; this is defined as a 4-dimensional…
It is recently conjectured that generic non-extremal Kerr black hole could be holographically dual to a hidden conformal field theory in two dimensions. Moreover, it is known that there are two CFT duals (pictures) to describe the charged…
General orbits of a particle of small mass $\mu$ around a Kerr black hole of mass $M$ are characterized by three parameters: the energy, the angular momentum and the Carter constant. The time-averaged rates of change of the energy and the…
I present an approach to gravity in which the spacetime metric is constructed from a non-Abelian gauge potential with values in the Lie algebra of the group U(2) (or the Lie algebra of quaternions). If the curvature of this potential…
We calculate the linear vacuum perturbations of a Kerr black hole surrounded by a slowly-varying external spacetime to third order in the ratio of the black-hole mass to the radius of curvature of the external spacetime. This expansion…
Among the known exact solutions of Einstein vacuum field equations the Manko-Novikov and the Quevedo-Mashhoon metrics might be suitable ones for the description of the exterior gravitational field of some real non-collapsed body. A new…
In this paper, we investigate the deflection of a charged particle moving in the equatorial plane of Kerr-Newman spacetime, focusing on weak field limit. To this end, we use the Jacobi geometry, which can be described in three equivalent…
We consider perturbative solutions to the classical field equations coming from a quadratic gravitational lagrangian in four dimensions. We study the charged, spherically symmetric black hole and explicitly give corrections up to third…
We present the two exact solutions of the Einstein-Nonlinear electrodynamics equations that generalize the Kerr-Newman solution. We determined the generalized electromagnetic potentials using the alignment between the tetrad vectors of the…
This paper introduces an alternative generalization of the static solution with quadrupole moment, the $\rm q$-metric, that describes a deformed compact object in the presence of the external fields characterized by multipole moments. In…
Based on the conserved Hamiltonian for a test particle, we have formulated a Newtonian analogue of Kerr spacetime in the `low energy limit of the test particle motion' that, in principle, can be comprehensively used to describe general…
We generalize the bumpy black hole framework to allow for alternative theory deformations. We construct two model-independent parametric deviations from the Kerr metric: one built from a generalization of the quasi-Kerr and bumpy metrics…
We construct a new class of vacuum black hole solutions whose geometry is deformed and twisted by the presence of NUT charges. The solutions are obtained by `unspinning' the general Kerr-NUT-(A)dS spacetimes, effectively switching off some…
One of the central goals of the newborn field of gravitational wave astronomy is to test gravity in the highly nonlinear, strong field regime characterizing the spacetime of black holes. In particular, "black hole spectroscopy" (the…
Scalar, vector and tensor perturbations on the Kerr spacetime are governed by equations that can be solved by separation of variables, but the same is not true in generic stationary and axisymmetric geometries. This complicates the…
In the continuation of a preceding work, we derive a new expression for the metric in the near zone of an isolated matter system in post-Newtonian approximations of general relativity. The post-Newtonian metric, a solution of the field…
