In this article, we study the stability of black hole solutions found in the context of dilatonic Horava-Lifshitz gravity in $1+1$ dimensions by means of the quasinormal modes approach. In order to find the corresponding quasinormal modes,…

We investigate the stability of black holes in the viable model of $f(R)=R+R^2$ gravity which was known to be the best fit for inflation. These include Schwarzschild and Kerr black holes. Instead of studying the fourth-order linearized…

Highly spinning Kerr black holes with masses $M = 1 - 100\ M_{\odot}$ are subject to an efficient superradiant instability in the presence of bosons with masses $\mu \sim 10^{-10} - 10^{-12}\ {\rm eV}$. We observe that this matches the…
