In this work, we study the possibility of generalizing solutions of regular black holes with an electric charge, constructed in general relativity, for the $f(G)$ theory, where $G$ is the Gauss-Bonnet invariant. This type of solution arises…
We integrate the third and a half post-Newtonian equations of motion for a fully generic binary black hole system, allowing both for non-circular orbits, and for one or both of the black holes to spin, in any orientation. Using the second…
Exact solutions describing multiple, electrically charged black holes (BHs) in a model of nonlinear electrodynamics (NLE) minimally coupled to Einstein's gravity are presented. The NLE model is ModMax theory, that has attracted much…
We examine four dimensional magnetically charged extremal black holes in certain non-linear U(1) gauge theories coupled to two derivative gravity. For a given coupling, one can tune the magnetic charge (or vice versa) so that the curvature…
Charged Black holes in Gauss-Bonnet extended gravity are studied. The electromagnetic field is coupled non-minimally, as in U(2,2) Chern-Simons theory. We find that the geometrical properties of the solution exhibit ``phase transitions" as…
