Calculating black hole shadows: Review of analytical studies

V Perlick, OY Tsupko - Physics Reports, 2022 - Elsevier
In this article, we provide a review of the current state of the research of the black hole
shadow, focusing on analytical (as opposed to numerical and observational) studies. We …

Testing the nature of dark compact objects: a status report

V Cardoso, P Pani - Living Reviews in Relativity, 2019 - Springer
Very compact objects probe extreme gravitational fields and may be the key to understand
outstanding puzzles in fundamental physics. These include the nature of dark matter, the …

Is the gravitational-wave ringdown a probe of the event horizon?

V Cardoso, E Franzin, P Pani - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
It is commonly believed that the ringdown signal from a binary coalescence provides a
conclusive proof for the formation of an event horizon after the merger. This expectation is …

Testing general relativity with present and future astrophysical observations

One century after its formulation, Einstein's general relativity (GR) has made remarkable
predictions and turned out to be compatible with all experimental tests. Most of these tests …

The Galactic Center massive black hole and nuclear star cluster

R Genzel, F Eisenhauer, S Gillessen - Reviews of modern physics, 2010 - APS
The Galactic Center is an excellent laboratory for studying phenomena and physical
processes that may be occurring in many other galactic nuclei. The center of our Milky Way …

We compare shadows cast by Schwarzschild black holes with those produced by two
classes of naked singularities that result from gravitational collapse of spherically symmetric …

Quasinormal modes of black holes and black branes

E Berti, V Cardoso, AO Starinets - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
Quasinormal modes are eigenmodes of dissipative systems. Perturbations of classical
gravitational backgrounds involving black holes or branes naturally lead to quasinormal …
