The gravitational lensing of relativistic and nonrelativistic neutral massive particles in the black-bounce-Schwarzschild black hole spacetime is investigated in the strong deflection limit. Beginning with the explicit equations of motion…
We study the gravi-dilaton field of a Schwarzschild black hole pierced by a thin cosmic string in both massless and massive dilatonic gravity. We conclude that in the thin vortex approximation the string's spacetime is asymptotically flat…
We investigate static spherically symmetric solutions within the framework of the local limit of nonlocal gravity. This theory departs from Einstein's general relativity (GR) through the introduction of a scalar gravitational susceptibility…
The exact solution for a static spherically symmetric field outside a charged point particle is found in a non-linear $U(1)$ gauge theory with a logarithmic Lagrangian. The electromagnetic self-mass is finite, and for a particular relation…
A "temporal analogue" of the standard Poynting-Robertson effect is analyzed as induced by a dust of particles (instead of a gas of photons) surrounding a Schwarzschild black hole. Test particles inside this cloud undergo acceleration…
[Abridged] This review surveys the theory of gravitational self-force in curved spacetime and its application to the gravitational two-body problem in the extreme-mass-ratio regime. We first lay the relevant formal foundation, describing…
We consider the motion of a point particle in a stationary spacetime under the influence of a scalar, electromagnetic or gravitational self-force. We show that the conservative piece of the first-order self-force gives rise to Hamiltonian…
We examine Hubeny's scenario according to which a near-extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole can absorb a particle and be driven toward an over-extremal state in which the charge exceeds the mass, signaling the destruction of the black…
A particular form of the C-metric is investigated, giving it a non-standard interpretation and removing any singularity at $r = 0$. In the weak field limit of the accelerating black hole, the proper acceleration $A$ of a static observer is…
Pseudo-Newtonian gravitational potential describing the gravitational field of static and spherically symmetric black holes in the universe with a repulsive cosmological constant is introduced. In order to demonstrate the accuracy of the…
A scalar field gravitational analog of the Reissner-Nordstrom solution is investigated. The nonlinear Newtonian model has an upper-limit of charge for a central mass which agrees with the general relativistic condition required for the…
We develop a simple physical model to describe the dynamics of a massive point-like object, such as a black hole, near the center of a dense stellar system. It is shown that the total force on this body can be separated into two independent…
We study the scenario in which a massive particle is thrown into a rapidly rotating Kerr black hole in an attempt to spin it up beyond its extremal limit, challenging weak cosmic censorship. We work in black-hole perturbation theory, and…
Utilizing various gauges of the radial coordinate, we give a General Relativistic (GR) description of static spherically symmetric spacetimes with a massive point source and vacuum outside this singularity. We show that in GR there exists a…
The problem of the speed of the objects inside the Schwarzschild black hole is considered. The general result is that the value of the relative speed of the objects following their non-zero angular momentum trajectories, both of geodesic…
Recently, a new perspective of gravitational-thermodynamic duality as an entropic force arising from alterations in the information connected to the positions of material bodies is found. In this paper, we generalize some aspects of this…
We calculate the self-force on an electric charge and electric dipole held at rest in a closed universe that results from joining two copies of Minkowski spacetime at a common boundary. Spacetime is strictly flat on each side of the…
In General Relativity, there exist two objects of limiting compactness, one with a null boundary defining the horizon of a black hole and the other with a timelike boundary defining a Buchdahl star. The two are characterized by…
Requiring that the matter fields are subject to the dominant energy condition, we establish the lower bound $(4\pi)^{-1} \kappa {\cal A}$ for the total mass $M$ of a static, spherically symmetric black hole spacetime. (${\cal A}$ and…
We describe the gravitational degrees of freedom of the Schwarzschild black hole by one free variable. We introduce an equation which we suggest to be the Schroedinger equation of the Schwarzschild black hole corresponding to this model. We…
