A black hole that is ringing down to quiescence emits gravitational radiation of a very specific nature that can inform us of its mass and angular momentum, test the no-hair theorem for black holes, and perhaps even give us additional…
In this article, we derive source integrals for multipole moments in axially symmetric and static spacetimes. The multipole moments can be read off the asymptotics of the metric close to spatial infinity in a hypersurface, which is…
Time-dependent soliton solutions are explicitly derived in a five-dimensional theory endowed with one (warped) extra-dimension. Some of the obtained geometries, everywhere well defined and technically regular, smoothly interpolate between…
We give analytic expressions for the gravitational inner spherical multipole moments, q_{lm} with l <= 5, for 11 elementary solid shapes. These moments, in conjunction with their known rotational and translational properties, can be used to…
The tidal Love numbers of a black hole vanish, and this is often taken to imply that the hole's tidally induced multipole moments vanish also. An obstacle to establishing a link between these statements is that the multipole moments of…
The post-Newtonian expansion appears to be a relevant tool for predicting the gravitational waveforms generated by some astrophysical systems such as binaries. In particular, inspiralling compact binaries are well-modelled by a system of…
We investigate the motion of spinning test bodies in General Relativity. By means of a multipolar approximation method for extended test bodies we derive the equations of motion, and classify the orbital motion of pole-dipole test bodies in…

Compact objects in general relativity approximately move along geodesics of spacetime. It is shown that the corrections to geodesic motion due to spin (dipole), quadrupole, and higher multipoles can be modeled by an extension of the point…
The time delay of a light signal which propagates in the gravitational field of an isolated body is considered. The body can be of arbitrary but time-independent shape and inner structure and can be in uniform rotational motion, while the…
We show how one can estimate the multipole moments of the space-time, assuming that the quasi-periodic modulations of the X-ray flux (quasi-periodic oscillations), observed from accreting neutron stars or black holes, are due to orbital and…
The noncommutativity concept has wide range of applications in physical and mathematical theories. Noncommutativity in the position-time coordinates concerns the microscale structure of space-time. the noncommutativity is an intrinsic…
The Dirac theory of electron and QED neglect gravitational field, while the corresponding to electron Kerr-Newman gravitational field has very strong influence on the Compton distances. It polarizes space-time, deforms the Coulomb field and…
Up to the third post-Newtonian (3PN) order, we compute (i) the current-type quadrupole moment of (non-spinning) compact binary systems, as well as (ii) the corresponding gravitational-wave mode $(2,1)$ (constituting a 3.5PN correction in…
The mechanism for the generation of multipole moments due to an external field is presented for the Born-Infeld charged particle. The 'polarizability coefficient' for arbitrary l-pole moment is calculated. The l-th coefficient is…
A model of the gravitational dipole is proposed in a close analogy to that of the global monopole. The physical properties and the range of validity of the model are examined as is the motion of test particles in the dipole background. It…
To model magnetic fields of compact objects we solve the Maxwell equations in the background of the exterior static Schwarzschild and slowly rotating Kerr space-times. We impose the boundary condition that the electromagnetic fields are to…
