Spherically symmetric configurations in the quadratic gravity

VI Zhdanov, OS Stashko, YV Shtanov - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We study spherically symmetric configurations of the quadratic f (R) gravity [f (R)= RR 2/6 μ
2]. In the case of a purely gravitational system, we have fully investigated the global …

Probing geometric proca in metric-palatini gravity with black hole shadow and photon motion

E Ghorani, B Puliçe, F Atamurotov, J Rayimbaev… - The European Physical …, 2023 - Springer
Extended metric-Palatini gravity, quadratic in the antisymmetric part of the affine curvature, is
known to lead to the general relativity plus a geometric Proca field. The geometric Proca …

Some applications of the Shapiro time delay

AA Ghasemi, H Rezaei, H Moradpour - Serbian Astronomical …, 2023 - doiserbia.nb.rs
Listening to echoes has long been a way to estimate distances, a technique whose
backbone is the time delay. The gravitational field also creates a time delay, called Shapiro …

Distinguishing the observational signatures of hot spots orbiting Reissner-Nordström spacetime

T Wu, Y Chen - Chinese Physics C, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
