As an extension of a previous work in which perihelion advances are considered only and as an attempt to find more stringent constraints on its parameters, we investigate effects on astronomical observation and experiments conducted in the…
Gravitational lensing can happen not only for null signal but also timelike signals such as neutrinos and massive gravitational waves in some theories beyond GR. In this work we study the time delay between different relativistic images…
In this paper we study the observational constraints that can be imposed on the coupling parameter, $\hat \alpha$, of the regularized version of the 4-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory of gravity. We use the scalar-tensor field…
We study circular motion of charged test particles on the equatorial slice of a Taub--NUT black hole with Manko--Ruiz parameter $C$, immersed in a weak external magnetic field introduced via Wald's prescription. Because the Taub--NUT metric…
In the literature, there is no consensus on the origin of the relativistic Sagnac effect, particularly from the standpoint of the rotating observer. The experiments of Wang et al. \cite{wang2003modified,wang2004generalized} has, however,…
We consider massless higher spin gauge theories with both electric and magnetic sources, with a special emphasis on the spin two case. We write the equations of motion at the linear level (with conserved external sources) and introduce…
Based on the dual principle in super-luminous Lorentz transformation this work shows that pseudo-spin of a time-like bradyon appears to space-like observers as iso-spin of a corresponding tachyon. Due to the weak interaction, lepton-tachyon…
Extragalactic and galactic cosmic rays scatter with the cosmic neutrino background during propagation to Earth, yielding a flux of relic neutrinos boosted to larger energies. If an overdensity of relic neutrinos is present in galaxies, and…
We present a new method to calculate formation of cosmological structure in the Newtonian limit. The method is based on Lagrangian perturbation theory plus two key theoretical extensions. One advance involves identifying and fixing a…
We study the nontrivial effects of the NUT charges on the shadows of the Kerr-Taub-NUT black holes seen by zero-angular-momentum-observers. Inclination angles with which the observers gain maximal, locally extreme or minimal shadow sizes…
The late-time cosmic acceleration may be due to infra-red modifications of General Relativity. In particular, we consider a maximal extension of the Hilbert-Einstein action and analyze several interesting features of the theory. Generally,…
After recalling the rigorous mathematical representations in Relativity Theory (\emph{RT}) of (i): observers, (ii): reference frames fields, (iii): their classifications, (iv) naturally adapted coordinate systems (\emph{nacs}%) to a given…
We show that the class of four-dimensional Taub-Bolt(NUT) spacetimes with positive cosmological constant for some values of NUT charges are stable and have entropies that are greater than that of de Sitter spacetime, in violation of the…
We derive the Schr\"{o}dinger-Newton equation as the non-relativistic limit of the Einstein-Dirac equations. Our analysis relaxes the assumption of spherical symmetry, made in earlier work in the literature, while deriving this limit. Since…
It is proved, using the curved line element of a spherically symmetric charged object in general relativity and the Schwinger discharge mechanism of quantum field theory, that the orbital periods $T_{\infty}$ of test particles around…
The Detweiler-Barack-Sago redshift function for particles moving along slightly eccentric equatorial orbits around a Kerr black hole is currently known up to the second order in eccentricity, second order in spin parameter, and the 8.5…
In astronomy, gravitational lensing of light leads to the formation of multiple images, arcs, Einstein rings, and, most important, the shadow of black holes. Analogously in the vicinity of a massive compact object massive particles,…
We consider the sets of future/past trapped null geodesics in the exterior region of a sub-extremal Kerr-Newman-Taub-NUT spacetime. We show that, from the point of view of any timelike observer outside of such a black hole, trapping can be…
The Dirac theory in the Euclidean Taub-NUT space gives rise to a large collection of conserved operators associated to genuine or hidden symmetries. They are involved in interesting algebraic structures as dynamical algebras or even…
This article focuses on the new approach to the nature of a nut parameter $n$, usually treated as a dual charge to the mass. Instead of thinking about it as a gravitational analog of the magnetic monopole, we will show that the Taub-NUT…
