A key obstacle for theory-specific tests of general relativity is the lack of accurate black-hole solutions in beyond-Einstein theories, especially for moderate to high spins. We address this by developing a general framework--based on…
Black holes have a unique sensitivity to the presence of ultralight matter fields or modifications of the underlying theory of gravity. In the present paper we combine both features by studying an ultralight, dynamical scalar field that is…
Within the framework of scalar-tensor theories of gravity, certain models can evade classical black hole no-hair theorems. A well-known example is Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, where black holes carrying a scalar charge can exist.…
We present analytic stationary and axially-symmetric black hole solutions to the semiclassical Einstein equations that are sourced by the trace anomaly. We also find that the same spacetime geometry satisfies the field equations of a subset…
Black-hole spacetimes that possess stationary equatorial matter rings are known to exist in general relativity. We here reveal the existence of black-hole spacetimes that support {\it non}-equatorial matter rings. In particular, it is…
