We propose a two-parameter, static and spherically symmetric regular geometry, which, for specific parameter values represents a regular black hole. The matter required to support such spacetimes within the framework of General Relativity…
The apparent shadow of a black hole provides one of the most direct probes of strong-field general relativity. While the shadow size in asymptotically flat spacetimes is well understood, the influence of cosmic expansion on its apparent…
This work deals with the scalar quasinormal modes using higher order WKB method and black hole shadow in non-minimal Einstein Yang-Mills theory. To validate the results of quasinormal modes, time domain profiles are also investigated. We…
The non-linearly coupled Einstein-matter field equations predict the existence of shadows with well-defined boundaries around black holes. We prove that, in spherically symmetric hairy black-hole spacetimes whose matter fields satisfy the…
We show that Weyl-invariant dilaton gravity provides a description of black holes without classical spacetime singularities. Singularities appear due to ill-behaviour of gauge fixing conditions, one example being the gauge in which theory…
Astrophysical black holes (BHs) are universally expected to be described by the Kerr metric, a stationary, vacuum solution of general relativity (GR). Indeed, by imaging M87$^\star$ and Sgr A$^\star$ and measuring the size of their shadows,…
Black holes with dyonic charges in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton-axion supergravity theory are revisited in the context of black hole shadows. We consider static as well as rotating (namely the dyonic Kerr-Sen) black holes. The matter…

In this work, we propose a new black hole solution, namely, a Hayward-like metric incorporating corrections due to non-commutativity by taking into account $\partial_r\wedge\partial_\theta$ Moyal twist. We begin by deriving this solution…
During the glorious success of the EHT in providing the first image of a black hole, numerous papers have been published about the effect of different astrophysical environments on black hole geometry. Motivated by the work on how…
First sketch of black hole from M87 galaxy was obtained by Event Horizon Telescope, recently. As appearance of black hole shadow reflects space-time geometry of black holes, observations of black hole shadow may be a promising way to test…
Searching for violations of the no-hair theorem (NHT) is a powerful way to test gravity, and more generally fundamental physics, particularly with regards to the existence of additional scalar fields. The first observation of a black hole…
The shadows cast by non-rotating and rotating modified gravity (MOG) black holes are determined by the two parameters mass $M$ and angular momentum $J=Ma$. The sizes of the shadows cast by the spherically symmetric static Schwarzschild-MOG…
We continue to study the response of black-hole space-times on the presence of additional strong sources of gravity. Restricting ourselves to static and axially symmetric (electro-)vacuum exact solutions of Einstein's equations, we first…
We continue the study of the non-metric theory of gravity introduced in hep-th/0611182 and gr-qc/0703002 and obtain its general spherically symmetric vacuum solution. It respects the analog of the Birkhoff theorem, i.e., the vacuum…
Binary black hole spacetimes with a helical Killing vector, which are discussed as an approximation for the early stage of a binary system, are studied in a projection formalism. In this setting the four dimensional Einstein equations are…

In this paper we revisit non-spherical perturbations of the Schwarzschild black hole in the context of $f(R)$ gravity. Previous studies were able to demonstrate the stability of the $f(R)$ Schwarzschild black hole against gravitational…
The analog of the Schwarzschild metric is explored in the context of Non-Singular Gravity. Analytic results are developed describing redshifts, curvatures and topological features of the spacetime. All curvatures and redshifts are finite so…
