We characterise the planet-occulted line distortions (POLDs) in absorption spectra of transiting planets, that arise from proxies used for the occulted stellar lines and investigate the impact of stellar rotation, centre-to-limb variations,…
In several approaches to evading the information paradox, the semiclassical black hole is replaced by an Exotic Compact Object (ECO). It has been conjectured that gravitational waves emitted by the merger of ECOs can reflect off the ECOs…
The Nariai black hole, whose two horizons are lying close to each other, is an extreme and important case in the research of black hole. In this paper we study the evolution of a massless scalar field scattered around in 5D Schwarzschild-de…
We investigate theoretically the phenomenon of exchange narrowing in the absorption spectrum of a chain of monomers, which are coupled via resonant dipole-dipole interaction. The individual (uncoupled) monomers exhibit a broad absorption…

We study Extreme Mass Ratio Inspirals (EMRIs), during which a small body spirals into a supermassive black hole, in gravity theories with additional scalar fields. We first argue that no-hair theorems and the properties of known theories…
Gravitational-wave astronomy can give us access to the structure of black holes, potentially probing microscopic or even Planckian corrections at the horizon scale, as those predicted by some quantum-gravity models of exotic compact…
The optical interaction of light and matter is modeled as an oscillating dipole in a plane wave. We analyze absorption, scattering and extinction for this system by the energy flow, which is depicted by streamlines of the Poynting vector.…
Regular black holes (RBHs) can be seen as possible alternatives to standard black holes (BHs), since these geometries do not have a curvature singularity. As a way of improving our knowledge of such geometries, we can investigate how the…
Gravitational wave astronomy provides an unprecedented opportunity to test the nature of black holes and search for exotic, compact alternatives. Recent studies have shown that exotic compact objects (ECOs) can ring down in a manner similar…
Absorption spectra of closed-shell Na_2, Na_3+, Na_4, Na_5+, Na_6, Na_7+, and Na_8 clusters are calculated using a recently implemented conserving linear response method. In the framework of a quasiparticle approach, we determine…

Exotic compact objects refer to a wide class of black hole alternatives or effective models to describe phenomenologically quantum gravitational effects on the horizon scale. In this work we show how the knowledge of the quasi-normal mode…
