Searching for violations of the no-hair theorem (NHT) is a powerful way to test gravity, and more generally fundamental physics, particularly with regards to the existence of additional scalar fields. The first observation of a black hole…
We study photon rings of constant scalar hairy black holes with mass $m$, charge $Q$, and scalar hair $S$ obtained from the Einstein-Maxwell-conformally coupled scalar theory. These black holes are classified as scalar hairy…
Is it possible the no-hair paradigm is violated when a black hole undergoes an instability? Employing massless charged scalar perturbations, we address this question within the context of conformally invariant Einstein-Maxwell theory for…

We consider Einstein gravity in general dimensions, coupled to a scalar field either minimally or non-minimally, together with a generic scalar potential. By making appropriate choices of the scalar potential, we obtain large classes of new…
We study a family of four-dimensional, asymptotically flat, charged black holes that develop (charged) scalar hair as one increases their charge at fixed mass. Surprisingly, the maximum charge for given mass is a nonsingular hairy black…
It is well-known that in four dimensions, black hole solution of the Brans-Dikce-Maxwell equations is just the Reissner-Nordstrom solution with a constant scalar field. However, in $n\geq4$ dimensions, the solution is not yet the…
We study Einstein gravity coupled to a massless scalar field in a static spherically symmetric space-time in four dimensions. Black hole solutions exist when the kinetic energy of the scalar field is negative, that is, for a phantom field.…
