The "ringdown" radiation emitted by oscillating black holes has great scientific potential. By carefully predicting the frequencies and amplitudes of black hole quasinormal modes and comparing them with gravitational-wave data from compact…
We suggest a holographic energy model in which the energy coming from spatial curvature, matter and radiation can be obtained by using the particle horizon for the infrared cut-off. We show the consistency between the holographic…
Accretion disks around compact objects are expected to enter an unstable phase at high luminosity. One instability may occur when the radiation pressure generated by accretion modifies the disk viscosity, resulting in the cyclic depletion…
The radio emission from supermassive black holes in nearby early-type galaxies can be used to test possible explanations for their low luminosities. We calculate the expected contribution from thermal synchrotron emission from hot accretion…
In this paper we derived Hawking radiation as a tuneling of massless particles through a non-singular horizon in the s-wave approximation. The back reaction of emitted modes on the background black hole geometry is self-consistently taken…

A Kaluza-Klein model, with a matter source associated with Hawking radiation from an evaporating black hole, is used to obtain a simple form for the radion effective potential. The environmental effect generally causes a matter-induced…
This paper reports results from numerical simulations of the gravitational radiation emitted from non--rotating compact objects(both neutron stars and Schwarzschild black holes) as a result of the accretion of matter. A hybrid procedure is…
Black holes play a fundamental role in modern physics. They have characteristic oscillation modes, called quasinormal modes. Past studies have shown that these modes are important to our understanding of the dynamics of astrophysical black…

Scattering of particles in the gravitational field of Kerr black holes is considered. It is shown that scattering energy of particles in the centre of mass system can obtain very large values not only for extremal black holes but also for…
A two-dimensional dilatonic black hole induced by a topological soliton is exactly solvable in the scalar field theory coupled to dilaton gravity. The Hawking radiation of the black hole is studied in the one-loop approximation with the…
Previously it was shown that gravitation theory allows the existance of supermassive stable compact configurations of the degenerated electronic gas (L.V.Verozub, Astr. Nacr. 317 (1996) 107) without events horizon. In the present paper the…
This paper discusses the thermodynamics of a black hole with respect to Hawking radiation and the entropy. We look at a unified picture of black hole entropy and curvature and how this can lead to the usual black hole luminosity due to…
We propose a new model for the origin of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), attributing these phenomena to sudden discharges of accumulated electric charge in the accretion disk of compact objects such as black holes. Our framework demonstrates how…
Black holes in Lorentz violating gravity enjoy a double horizon structure which resembles that of the Kerr solution in General Relativity. Moreover, when a scalar field with a modified dispersion relation is coupled to these backgrounds, an…
Modern observations and models of various astrophysical objects suggest that many of their physical parameters fluctuate substantially at different spatial scales. The rich variety of the emission processes, including Transition Radiation…
