The Newman-Janis algorithm is the standard approach to rotation in general relativity which, in vacuum, builds the Kerr metric from the Schwarzschild spacetime. Recently, we have shown that the same algorithm applied to the Papapetrou…
The final fate of gravitational collapse of massive stars has been a subject of interest for a long time since such a collapse may lead to black holes and naked singularities alike. Since, the formation of naked singularities is forbidden…
Motivated by quantum-gravity scenarios that replace the classical black hole singularity with a regular core, and by the possibility that the dark-energy sector may be scale dependent, we construct a broad class of nonsingular rotating…
It is commonly thought that the final product of gravitational collapse is a black hole. Nevertheless, theoretical studies have not yet provided a final answer to the question whether black holes are the only possible outcome or whether…
The problem of merging in black holes the rotation and a massless scalar field is treated. It is argued in the comment that the Kerr-like and Demianski-like metrics in General Relativity with a free massless scalar field or in the free…

The static antiscalar solution of the Einstein-Klein-Gordon equations in the form of the Papapetrou exponential metric had been interpreted as a traversable wormhole with a throat at \textit{r=M}. We aim to search for the effects which…
The recent opening of gravitational wave astronomy has shifted the debate about black hole mimickers from a purely theoretical arena to a phenomenological one. In this respect, missing a definitive quantum gravity theory, the possibility to…
In this article, we conduct a sequential study of possible observable images of black hole simulators described by two recently obtained rotating geometries in Einstein gravity, minimally coupled to a scalar field. One of them, "Kerr-like"…
We construct asymptotically flat black hole solutions of Einstein-scalar gravity sourced by a nontrivial scalar field with 1/r asymptotic behaviour. Near the singularity the black hole behaves as the Janis-Newmann-Winicour-Wyman solution.…
Regular (non-singular) black holes with de Sitter cores are often constructed by prescribing effective mass functions or anisotropic vacuum fluids, or by invoking phantom scalars that violate energy conditions. Constructions with canonical…
We consider the Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet theory, and study the case where a negative cosmological constant is replaced by a more realistic, negative scalar-field potential. We study different forms of the coupling function between the…
We obtain the Kerr-anti-de-sitter (Kerr-AdS) and Kerr-de-sitter (Kerr-dS) black hole (BH) solutions to the Einstein field equation in the perfect fluid dark matter background using the Newman-Janis method and Mathematica package. We discuss…
We derive exact, asymptotically flat black hole solutions of Einstein-scalar gravity sourced by a non trivial scalar field with $1/r$ asymptotic behaviour. They are determined using an ansatz for the scalar field profile and working out,…
We study the quasi-normal modes of asymptotically anti-de Sitter black holes in a class of shift-symmetric Horndeski theories where a gravitational scalar is derivatively coupled to the Einstein tensor. The space-time differs from exact…
Scalar--tensor theories of gravity provide a natural extension of general relativity and may predict naked singularities as alternative compact objects. In this work, we investigate a novel exact solution within the Freud--Nambu…

The Kerr-Newman metric is the unique vacuum solution of the General Relativistic field equations, in which any singularities or spacetime pathologies are hidden behind horizons. They are believed to describe the spacetimes of massive…

The Newman-Janis algorithm is well known to provide rotating black holes solutions to Einstein's equations from static seeds, through a complexification of a radial and a time coordinates. However, an ambiguity remains for the replacement…
