A key obstacle for theory-specific tests of general relativity is the lack of accurate black-hole solutions in beyond-Einstein theories, especially for moderate to high spins. We address this by developing a general framework--based on…
In the numerical investigation of the physical merger of two black holes, it is crucial to locate a black hole locally. This is usually done utilizing an apparent horizon. An alternative proposal is to identify a geometric horizon (GH),…

We provide a complete characterization of the metric Killing bundles (or metric bundles) of the Kerr geometry. Metric bundles, first introduced in [21] can be generally defined for axially symmetric spacetimes with Killing horizons and, for…
Black hole spacetimes contain several geometrically distinguished hypersurfaces, including event and Cauchy horizons, stationary-limit surfaces, curvature singularities, and asymptotic infinity. These structures are usually identified by…
