We present a straightforward approach for estimating the final black hole spin of a binary black hole coalescence with arbitrary initial masses and spins. Making some simple assumptions, we estimate the final angular momentum to be the sum…
We present the accretion of a phantom scalar field into a black hole for various scalar field potentials in the full non-linear regime. Our results are based on the use of numerical methods and show that for all the cases studied the black…
Scalar fields around compact objects are of interest for scalar-tensor theories of gravity and dark matter models consisting of a massive scalar, e.g. axions. We study the behaviour of a scalar field around a Kerr black hole with non…
We study eccentric equatorial orbits of a test-body around a Kerr black hole under the influence of gravitational radiation reaction. We have adopted a well established two-step approach: assuming that the particle is moving along a…

A charge-free, point particle of infinitesimal mass orbiting a Kerr black hole is known to move along a geodesic. When the particle has a finite mass or charge, it emits radiation which carries away orbital energy and angular momentum, and…

We calculate the amount of angular momentum that thermal photons carry out of a viscous black hole accretion disc, due to the strong Doppler shift imparted to them by the high orbital velocity of the radiating disc material. While the…

The spin of the final black hole in the coalescence of nonspinning black holes is determined by the ``residual'' orbital angular momentum of the binary. This residual momentum consists of the orbital angular momentum that the binary is not…
The evolution of the primordial low mass black hole (PBH) in hot universe is considered. Increase of mass and decrease of PBH spin due to the accretion of radiation dominated matter are estimated with using of results of numerical…
