In a previous paper, we developed tools for studying the horizon geometry of a Kerr black hole that is tidally distorted by a binary companion using techniques that require large mass ratios but can be applied to any bound orbit and allow…
Based on the orbital period of Kerr black holes, Hod proposed a conjecture that a general lower bound on the orbital period may exist. In this work, we examined this bound by exploring the orbital period of Kerr-Newman black holes using…
It is generally believed that tidal deformations of a black hole in an external field, as measured using its gravitational field multipoles, vanish. However, this does not mean that the black hole horizon is not deformed. Here we shall…
Circularly orbiting black hole-gaseous star close binary systems are examined by using numerically exact stationary configurations in the framework of Newtonian gravity. We have chosen a polytropic star for the fluid component of the binary…
The concept of regular black holes has gained attention in recent years, especially in the context of quantum gravity theories. In these theories, the existence of singularities is paradoxical as they represent a breakdown of the laws of…
We study accretion processes for tidally disrupted stars approaching supermassive black holes on bound orbits, by performing three dimensional Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics simulations with a pseudo-Newtonian potential. We find that there…
We extend the gravitational self-force approach to encompass `self-interaction' tidal effects for a compact body of mass $\mu$ on a quasi-circular orbit around a black hole of mass $M \gg \mu$. Specifically, we define and calculate at…
In this paper we develop the new semi-analitical model of a tidally perturbed or tidally disrupted star proposed recently by two of us. This model is effectively a one dimensional Lagrangian model and it can be evolved numerically much…
Solitary stars that wander too close to their galactic centres can become tidally disrupted, if the tidal forces due to the supermassive black hole (SMBH) residing there overcome the self-gravity of the star. If the star is only partially…
It is often stated in the physics literature that maximally-spinning Kerr black-hole spacetimes are characterized by near-horizon co-rotating circular geodesics of radius $r_{\text{circular}}$ with the property $r_{\text{circular}}\to…
General relativity (GR) predicts the existence of black hole (BH). The rotating BH called as a Kerr Black hole and GR implies that there is an upper limit on the angular momentum per mass squared of black holes $\leq 1$, above which the…
The deformability of a compact object induced by a perturbing tidal field is encoded in the tidal Love numbers, which depend sensibly on the object's internal structure. These numbers are known only for static, spherically-symmetric…
We consider the motion of nonspinning, compact objects orbiting around a Kerr black hole with tidal couplings. The tide-induced quadrupole moment modifies both the orbital energy and outgoing fluxes, so that over the inspiral timescale…
Recently, it was shown that the extreme Kerr black hole is the only candidate for a (Kerr) black hole limit of stationary and axisymmetric, uniformly rotating perfect fluid bodies with a zero temperature equation of state. In this paper,…
Timing analyses of accreting black holes often package nodal information in ways that depend on benign choices of time and azimuthal convention. We identify the corresponding pipeline-invariant content for slightly tilted circular rings and…
We consider generic rotating axially symmetric "dirty" (surrounded by matter) black holes. Near-horizon circular equatorial orbits are examined in two different cases of near-extremal (small surface gravity $\kappa $) and exactly extremal…
The open question of whether a black hole can become tidally deformed by an external gravitational field has profound implications for fundamental physics, astrophysics and gravitational-wave astronomy. Love tensors characterize the tidal…
In this paper we compute the gravitational signal emitted when a white dwarf moves around a black hole on a closed or open orbit using the affine model approach. We compare the orbital and the tidal contributions to the signal, assuming…
We study the tidal disruption of neutron stars in black hole-neutron star coalescing binaries. We calculate the critical orbital separation at which the star is disrupted by the black hole tidal field for several equations of state…
We analytically study the linear response of a near-extremal Kerr black hole to external scalar, electromagnetic, and gravitational field perturbations. We show that the energy density, electromagnetic field strength, and tidal force…
