Recently a certain thought experiment was discussed which involves the decoherence of a quantum system due to a black hole. Here we show how this phenomenon is consistent with standard ideas about quantum black holes. In other words,…

We investigate a recently derived Schwarzschild-like black hole immersed in a Dehnen-type $(\alpha,\beta,\gamma)=(1,4,5/2)$ dark matter (DM) halo. We obtain constraints on the two model parameters, i.e., the halo core radius $r_s$ and the…

When a massive test particle or a photon fall radially into a black hole, their energy, as measured by a static observer located very close to the horizon, diverges. In introductory courses on General Relativity, this fact gives rise to…
