We study test-body orbits in the gravitational field of a static spherically symmetric object in presence of a minimally coupled nonlinear scalar field. We generated a two-parametric family of scalar field potentials, which allow finding…
We consider spherically symmetric black holes with minimally coupled scalar fields and concentrate our attention on asymptotically flat self-gravitating configurations having the event horizons located at radii much smaller than $2m$. We…

Direct imaging of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at event horizon scale resolutions, as recently done by the Event Horizon Telescope, allows for testing alternative models to SMBHs such as Kerr naked singularities (KNSs). We demonstrate…
The Kehagias-Sfetsos asymptotically flat black hole and naked singularity solutions of Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity are investigated both in the weak-field and strong-field regimes. In the weak-field limit the gravitational field generated…
The formation of black holes or naked singularities is studied in a model in which a homogeneous time-dependent scalar field with an exponential potential couples to four dimensional gravity with negative cosmological constant. An analytic…
Static spherically symmetric black holes and particle like solutions with self interacting minimally coupled scalar field {\phi} are analyzed. They are asymptotically flat or anti-de Sitter (AdS). We express them in terms of a single…
Unique features of particle orbits produce novel signatures of gravitational observable phenomena, and are quite useful in testing compact astrophysical objects in general relativity or modified theories of gravity. Here we observe a…
Previously, it was noticed that in some space-times with Killing horizons some curvature components, responsible for tidal forces, small or even zero in the static frame, become enhanced from the viewpoint of a falling observer. This leads…
Recent work has shown that scalar fields around black holes can form long-lived, quasistationary configurations surviving for cosmological timescales. With this requirement, scalar fields cannot be discarded as viable candidates for dark…
We present a quantum mechanical study of the bound states of a neutral scalar particle on the curved background described by the Reissner-Nordstr\"om (RN) spacetime that corresponds to a naked singularity. We show that there occurs both the…
We construct here a class of collapsing scalar field models with a non-zero potential, which result in a naked singularity as collapse end state. The weak energy condition is satisfied by the collapsing configuration. It is shown that…
For the Kerr naked singularity (KNS) spacetimes, we study properties of spherical photon orbits (SPOs) confined to constant Boyer-Lindquist radius r. Some new features of the SPOs are found, having no counterparts in the Kerr black hole…
In this chapter, we study special photon orbits defined by means of Killing vectors and present a framework based on the properties of such null orbits. For concreteness, we restrict ourselves to the case of axially symmetric spacetimes…
The origin of equilibrium gravitational configurations is sought in terms of the stability of their trajectories, as described by the curvature of their Lagrangian configuration manifold of particle positions --- a context in which subtle…
General relativistic static spherically symmetric (SSS) asymptotically flat configurations with scalar fields typically contain naked singularities at the center. We consider minimally coupled scalar fields with power-law potentials leading…
Recent perturbative studies have shown the existence of long-lived, quasi-stationary configurations of scalar fields around black holes. In particular, such configurations have been found to survive for cosmological timescales, which is a…
We analyze the properties of circular orbits of test particles on the equatorial plane of a rotating central mass whose gravitational field is described by the Kerr spacetime. For rotating black holes and naked singularities we explore all…
We employ a late-time expansion to study the interior of rotating black holes coupled to a massless scalar field in asymptotically flat spacetime. We find that decaying fluxes of scalar radiation into the black hole necessitate the…
In case of a spherically symmetric non-linear scalar field (SF) in flat space, besides singularity at the center, spherical singularities can occur for non-zero values of radial variable $r>0$. We show that in the General Relativity the…
