Dynamics, Ringdown, and Accretion-Driven Multiple Quasi-Periodic Oscillations of Kerr-Bertotti-Robinson Black Holes

We study the motion of test particles around the Kerr--Bertotti--Robinson (KBR) black hole (BH) and explore how the three defining parameters, the mass $M$, rotation parameter $a$, and magnetic parameter $B$ influence their dynamics. We derive analytical expressions for the energy and angular momentum of stable equatorial circular orbits, along with the corresponding radial and latitudinal oscillation frequencies, as functions of $M$, $a$, and $B$. We also examine the key features of the quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) of test particles near stable circular orbits, including the precession effects such as periastron precession and the Lense-Thirring effect. We compare our results with those corresponding to the Kerr BH. We find that the particle motion is strongly shaped by the BH parameters. Using a WKB approach, we also study scalar quasinormal modes of rotating KBR BH in an external magnetic field and show that the magnetic field increases damping, while rotation and angular momentum mainly set the oscillation frequencies. Alternatively, general relativistic modeling of Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton (BHL) accretion onto rapidly rotating KBR BH shows that two distinct physical structures emerge and cyclically transform into one another over time. These processes produce either a strongly oscillating flip-flop shock cone or a nearly stationary toroidal structure, with their formation governed by the BH spin and magnetic curvature. Power spectral analysis shows that these configurations give rise to low- and high-frequency QPO, providing a unified theoretical framework to understand how multiple QPO-like features can arise in rapidly spinning accreting systems.

Unified Mass-Scaled QPO Signatures of Kerr Sen Black Holes from Stellar Mass to Supermassive Sources

In this study, we numerically investigate Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton (BHL) accretion around Kerr-Sen black holes and examine how the charge-related deformation of the spacetime affects the shock-cone morphology, the variation of the mass accretion rate, and the quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO)-like temporal behavior. The relativistic BHL flow is solved numerically in the equatorial plane for two different black hole spin parameters, a = 0.9 M and a = 0.5 M. From the numerically computed mass accretion rate signal, we calculate the power spectral density (PSD) and perform multi-component Lorentzian fits to identify the dominant QPO-like modes excited around the black hole. The results show that the Kerr-Sen deformation shifts the characteristic frequencies, changes the coherence properties of the oscillation modes, and produces near-resonant harmonic structures close to 3:2 and 2:1. By using inverse mass scaling, the numerically computed frequencies are compared with observed QPOs from stellar-mass, intermediate-mass, and supermassive black hole systems. In particular, reasonable agreement between the numerical simulation results and observations is found for the sources GRS 1915+105, IGR J17091-3624, M82 X-1, NGC 5408 X-1, RE J1034+396, 1H 0707-495, and ESO 113-G010. This comparative analysis indicates that Kerr-Sen black hole shock-cone oscillations may provide a unified framework for interpreting timing features over a broad range of black hole masses and may additionally contribute to constraining the mass and spin parameters of sources whose properties are not yet fully established observationally. These findings further imply that combined hydrodynamical and timing diagnostics constitute a promising approach for assessing the extent to which deviations associated with the Kerr-Sen geometry can be empirically distinguished from those of the Kerr spacetime.

QPO-like Signatures and Hydrodynamical Variability in Accretion around a JNW-type Compact Spacetime in Freund-Nambu Scalar-Tensor Gravity

Scalar tensor theories of gravity provide a broad as well as physically rich extension of general theory of relativity by allowing the gravitational interaction to be mediated not only by the spacetime metric but also by scalar degrees of freedom. In this manuscript, we present a new exact solution in the Freund-Nambu scalar-tensor (FNST) gravity scenario, representing a nontrivial scalar-tensor generalization of the Janis-Newman-Winicour naked-singularity geometry, characterized by an additional coupling parameter q in the scalar sector. We also numerically solve the general relativistic hydrodynamic equations in order to investigate the shock-cone mechanism formed by Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton accretion around this compact spacetime on the equatorial plane. We show that stronger scalar-tensor deviations modify the shock-cone morphology, significantly increase the amount of matter accumulated near the central compact object, and enhance the oscillatory behavior of the shock cone. The Lorentzian-like peaks obtained from the numerically computed power spectral density are interpreted as hydrodynamically generated QPO-like modes. These modes are driven by shock cone oscillations and by the compression and rarefaction of the plasma trapped inside the cone. Finally, for a compact object with mass parameter M = 10M_sun, the numerically extracted frequencies are found mainly in the range from a few Hz up to approximately 100 Hz. These frequencies overlap with the QPO ranges reported in stellar-mass black-hole-candidate systems. In particular, the frequencies obtained for the FNST2-FNST4 models fall within the range of timing features reported for the source GRS 1915+105. These results suggest that the exterior hydrodynamical variability of FNST compact spacetimes may provide phenomenological diagnostics of scalar-field-induced deviations from the Schwarzschild reference case.

Disformal Kerr Imprints on BHL Accretion: Shock Morphology, PSD Signatures, and Observational QPO Counterparts

We reveal the effect of the spacetime parameters on the accretion morphology formed through the BHL mechanism around a slowly rotating disformal Kerr black hole. Thus, we investigate the measurable signatures of these parameters on the hydrodynamical morphology and the timing behavior of the accreting flow. It is shown that even weak disformal deviations from the Kerr solution modify the shock-cone structure, enhance the density in the post-shock region, and produce coherent oscillations in the accretion rate. The Kerr model produces coherent peaks at 42.99 Hz and 68.13 Hz, and these frequencies are consistent with the high-frequency QPOs observed from the source GRS 1915+105. In the models where the deviations from the Kerr solution are weak, low-frequency QPOs are produced and found to be coherent. These frequencies also fall within the frequency range observed in Galactic black-hole binaries. On the other hand, the models with large deviations from Kerr can be used to explain observational results that are more irregular, broad-band, and contain multiple peaks. In addition, by using inverse-mass scaling in this work, the numerically calculated frequencies are also compared with observations of intermediate-mass and supermassive black holes. In particular, the disformal black-hole models are found to be consistent with the observational results obtained from the sources M82 X-1, NGC 5408 X-1, and RE J1034+396. This comparison also allows the possible black-hole mass range of observed sources to be inferred from the relation between simulated and observed frequencies. This makes BHL accretion in disformal Kerr geometry a powerful framework for connecting modified-gravity black-hole spacetimes with observable QPO phenomenology.

Astrophysical signatures of Kerr-Bertotti-Robinson black holes in a cloud of strings: ISCO, microquasar QPOs, and Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton accretion

We study test-particle dynamics in the equatorial plane of a Kerr-Bertotti-Robinson black hole (BH) immersed in a cloud of strings (CS), with mass M , rotation a, magnetic parameter B, and string parameter α. Using the Hamilton formalism we recover the effective potential Ueff and the conditions for circular motion, and we compute the specific energy E and specific angular momentum L together with the radial, vertical, and azimuthal epicyclic frequencies νr , νθ , νϕ. Going beyond the analytic setup, we provide the first numerical mapping of the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) for this background and tabulate rISCO, EISCO, LISCO, and the accretion efficiency η = 1 - EISCO for both co- and counter-rotating motion across a wide (a, B, α) grid. The CS parameter pushes the ISCO outward and raises η from 0.057 in Schwarzschild to above 0.25 for α = 0.30 at a = 0.9. We then connect the model with observed twin-peak high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in three microquasars (GRO J1655-40, XTE J1550-564, GRS 1915+105) using the relativistic-precession (RP) model and find \{chi}^2-minimum fits with α < 0.13. A general-relativistic hydrodynamical (GRH) study of Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton (BHL) accretion completes the picture: the CS contribution sustains shock-cone instabilities, redistributes power-spectral-density (PSD) peaks, and produces low-frequency QPO-like components that distinguish KBR+CS from pure Kerr or KBR.

Relativistic Dynamics and Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton Accretion onto Rotating Embedded Black Hole Models

In this paper, we examine the motion of test particles and relativistic accretion mechanisms within the spacetime of a rotating and embedded BH. In this case, the geometric properties of the metric and their dynamical consequences for particle trajectories are systematically studied, with a specific focus on circular orbits together with their existence criteria and stability constraints. Also, the effective potential and the corresponding effective force are constructed to quantify the influence of rotation and embedding parameters on the attractive and repulsive sectors of the gravitational interaction. Closed-form expressions for orbital frequencies as measured by a distant observer are derived, enabling a quantitative analysis of relativistic precession phenomena, including periastron advance and Lense-Thirring precession. Furthermore, we conduct general-relativistic hydrodynamic simulations of BHL accretion onto rotating embedded BHs. In addition, within the framework of the BHL accretion mechanism, the numerical solution of the GRH equations shows that the embedding parameter αsystematically modifies the morphology of the shock cone formed around embedded BHs compared to the Kerr model. In particular, a wider opening angle of the cone is produced, the compression of matter in the post-shock region is weakened, and the dynamical variability of the flow is enhanced. The time-dependent mass accretion rate exhibits increasing oscillation amplitudes and long-term variations with increasing α, while these amplitudes are found to be suppressed by the frame-dragging effect associated with the BH spin parameter. At the same time, increasing values of $α$ lead to a strengthening of the QPO frequencies formed around embedded BHs in the LFQPO regime, enhancing their observability and increasing the likelihood of detecting commensurate frequency ratios such as 3:2.

Accretion flow around Kerr metric in the infra-red limit of asymptotically safe gravity

We investigate accretion disk dynamics and the formation of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in the infrared limit around Kerr-like black holes in asymptotically safe gravity. Relativistic hydrodynamic solutions of Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton (BHL) accretion reveal that quantum corrections significantly modify the structure of the shock cone formed around the black hole. The black hole spin controls the azimuthal asymmetry of the shock cone through frame-dragging effects, whereas the quantum correction parameter effectively reduces the strength of gravitational focusing by modifying the metric coefficients in the strong-field region, resulting in a wider shock opening angle, weaker post-shock compression, and reduced density concentration within the cone. Time-dependent mass accretion rates reveal oscillation modes trapped within the shock cone. The power spectral density (PSD) investigations suggest that these modes naturally generate low-frequency QPOs, whose amplitudes, coherence, and harmonic structure depend on both the spin and the quantum correction parameter. The PSD analyses performed at different radial locations reveal that identical QPO frequencies are obtained in all cases. The numerically detected frequencies result from the excitation of global oscillation modes trapped within the post-shock region. The resulting global modes are found to consist of fundamental frequencies, their associated harmonic overtones, and near-commensurate frequency ratios such as 2:1 and 3:2. Coherent oscillations are enhanced and near-commensurate frequency ratios are produced when moderate rotation and moderate quantum corrections are coupled. Large quantum correction parameters, on the other hand, wash out unique spectral peaks and suppress oscillation amplitudes.

Relativistic accretion process onto rotating black holes in Einstein-Euler-Heisenberg nonlinear electrodynamic gravity

In this study, we uncover the accretion dynamics and oscillatory behavior around rotating black holes within the EEH nonlinear electrodynamic framework by analyzing both the motion of test particles and numerically solving the general relativistic hydrodynamic equations. Using EEH geometry, we compute the structure of circular motion, the effective potential and force, and we evaluate the orbital, radial, and vertical epicyclic frequencies together with the Lense-Thirring and periastron precession rates. Our calculations show that, compared to the Kerr model, the charge parameter $Q$ and the spin parameter $a$ significantly modify the strong gravitational field and shift the characteristic frequencies. We then model the dynamical structure formed by matter accreting toward the EEH black hole through the BHL mechanism, finding that the parameter $Q$ increases the amount of infalling matter and strengthens shock-cone instabilities near the horizon, while farther from the black hole it suppresses accretion and reduces turbulence. Time-series analysis of the accretion rate reveals robust QPOs, whose low-frequency components arise from the precession of the shock cone, while high-frequency components appear as a consequence of strong-field instabilities modified by $Q$ and $a$. A systematic parameter-space exploration identifies the regions where EEH corrections maximize QPO activity, indicating that nonlinear electrodynamics can leave observable imprints on accretion flows and may be testable with QPO and horizon-scale observations.

Confining nonlinear electrodynamics black holes: from thermodynamic phases to high-frequency phenomena with accretion process

We investigate a static, spherically symmetric black hole solution arising from Einstein gravity coupled to a confining nonlinear electrodynamics model that reproduces Maxwell theory in the strong-field regime while introducing confinement-like corrections at large distances. The resulting metric function is asymptotically Schwarzschild but carries a characteristic Q^3/(9ξ^2 r^4) correction, where $Q$ is the magnetic charge and $ξ$ is the nonlinear electrodynamics parameter, with the conventional Reissner-Nordström term Q^2/r^2 absent. We analyze the horizon structure and construct three-dimensional embedding diagrams to visualize spatial geometry. Using the Gauss-Bonnet theorem, we compute the weak-field deflection angle in vacuum, cold plasma, and axion-plasmon media, finding that the nonlinear electromagnetic corrections reduce the total bending compared to Schwarzschild at fixed Arnowitt-Deser-Misner mass. The gravitational redshift, Joule-Thomson expansion coefficient, and heat capacity are derived, revealing phase transitions and inversion curves that depend on the model parameters. We obtain closed-form expressions for the photon sphere radius, Lyapunov exponent, and shadow size, demonstrating their sensitivity to Q and $ξ$ along observable Intensities. Fully relativistic hydrodynamical simulations of Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton accretion show that the confining geometry produces a $\sim 40\%$ enhancement in mass accretion rate relative to Schwarzschild and generates quasi-periodic oscillations with stable 3:2 and 2:1 frequency ratios matching observations from black hole X-ray binaries. These results establish the confining nonlinear electrodynamics black hole as a testable model that can reproduce high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillation pairs without invoking black hole spin.

Origin of Quasi-Periodic Oscillations and Accretion Process in X-Ray Binaries around Quantum Lee-Wick Black Hole

In this study, we investigate the accretion dynamics and test particle motion around a non-rotating, spherically symmetric Lee-Wick black hole (BH) to reveal how the model parameters affect orbital stability and the quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) observed in X-ray binary systems. The spacetime geometry, characterized by the BH mass and the coupling parameters $S_1$ and $S_2$, includes exponential and oscillatory corrections arising from the Lee-Wick terms. Using the effective potential approach, we derive specific energy, angular momentum, epicyclic frequencies, and the locations of the innermost stable circular orbits (ISCOs) of test particles. In addition to the analytical analysis, we explore the effects of the Lee-Wick spacetime parameters on the shock-cone morphology produced by Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton (BHL) accretion. To this end, we perform general relativistic hydrodynamic simulations in two characteristic regimes: Block-1 (weak Lee-Wick regime) and Block-2 (strong Lee-Wick regime). The results show that Block-1 solutions closely resemble the Schwarzschild case, while Block-2 models develop denser and asymmetric shock cones accompanied by stronger QPOs activity, shifting from low-frequency to high-frequency QPOs. These variations yield distinct observational signatures that may be detectable in high-resolution X-ray timing data. Our analytical and numerical findings demonstrate that the Lee-Wick parameters $S_1$ and $S_2$ cause measurable changes in the morphology of the accretion flow and in the frequency ratios near the BH. This suggests that future multi-wavelength observations could provide an important avenue to test higher-derivative gravity theories.

Structure and Mass-Radius Stability of Charged Compact Objects in Symmetric Teleparallel Euler-Heisenberg Gravity

In this work, we develop a new relativistic model for a charged anisotropic compact star in the framework of modified symmetric teleparallel gravity, namely $f(Q)$-Euler-Heisenberg gravity. By employing the MIT bag model equation of state, we establish a relation between the metric potentials, leading to an exact solution of the field equations for an anisotropic fluid configuration coupled with a non-linear electromagnetic source. The interior spacetime is smoothly matched with the exterior geometry calculated from the theoretical setup of $f(Q)$-Euler-Heisenberg gravity using the Darmois-Israel junction conditions, ensuring the continuity of the metric functions and their derivatives at the stellar boundary. The physical viability of the model is examined through regularity, energy, and causality conditions, all of which are satisfied throughout the stellar interior. The study highlights how the pressure anisotropy, the propagation speeds of sound, and the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff balance condition are interconnected, showing that the star remains in mechanical equilibrium only when the gravitational, hydrostatic, electric, and anisotropic contributions counterbalance one another appropriately. The dynamical stability of the configuration is further supported by the requirement $Γ> \tfrac{4}{3}$ for the adiabatic index, indicating resilience against small radial perturbations. The plots of compactness, surface redshift, and the mass--radius profiles confirm that all physical quantities behave regularly and vary smoothly throughout the stellar interior. We graphically plotted the mass-radius curves.

Magnetized particle motion and accretion process with shock cone morphology around a decoupled hairy black holes

Relativistic accretion onto compact objects such as black holes and neutron stars is one of the most efficient known mechanisms for converting gravitational potential energy into radiation. In the case of rapidly spinning black holes, up to $40\%$ of the rest-mass energy of accreting matter can be released, far exceeding the efficiency of nuclear fusion. In this work, we investigate magnetized particle motion and relativistic accretion processes around a decoupled hairy black hole via extended geometric deformation. The developed geometry involves two hairy parameters that preserve the horizon structure with the additional feature of the fulfillment of weak energy conditions outside the event horizon. We provide the foundation with necessary formalism for magnetized particle motion around a decoupled black hole. The effective potential and innermost stable circular orbits are then derived, which demonstrate a significant reduction of the radius of the latter quantity under the hairy parameters for the magnetized particle. Afterwards, we obtain exact analytical expressions for radial velocity profiles, mass accretion rates, and a few others which reveal improved energy efficiency and emissivity as compared to the standard black hole. Furthermore, the decoupling parameter shows strong influence on oscillations, accretion presenting fantastic agreement between analytical predictions and numerical simulations, and thus offering noticeable observational signatures for future gravitational wave and X-ray astronomy.

Spherically Symmetric Quantum-Corrected Black Holes with String Clouds: A Multi-Observable Analysis

We present an investigation of quantum-corrected black hole spacetimes coupled with clouds of strings, examining two distinct theoretical models that incorporate quantum gravitational effects through different implementations of correction terms. Our study explores the geodesic structure, focusing on photon sphere properties, black hole shadows, and innermost stable circular orbits of test particles around these exotic geometries. The analysis reveals fundamental modifications to particle trajectories that distinguish quantum-corrected solutions from their classical counterparts, with observable implications for high-energy astrophysics. We investigate quasi-periodic oscillations arising from test particle motion, deriving frequency relationships that could serve as observational probes of quantum gravity effects in accreting black hole systems. Through rigorous gravitational lensing analysis using the Gauss-Bonnet theorem, we calculate weak-field deflection angles and identify distinctive signatures that enable discrimination between the two quantum correction models. The gravitational lensing study reveals opposite dependencies on quantum parameters between the models, providing unambiguous observational discriminants. Additionally, we analyze the thermodynamic properties including temperature, entropy, and heat capacity modifications, exploring topological characteristics and phase transition behavior in these quantum-corrected systems. The investigation reveals that the two models exhibit contrasting behaviors across multiple observational channels, from gravitational lensing deflection angles to quasi-periodic oscillation frequencies, providing remarkable discriminants for testing quantum gravity theories.

Analytic and Numerical Constraints on QPOs in EHT and XRB Sources Using Quantum-Corrected Black Holes

This investigation examines QPOs in two quantum-corrected BH spacetimes that preserve general covariance while incorporating quantum gravitational effects through a dimensionless parameter ζ. We combine analytical derivations of epicyclic frequencies with comprehensive numerical simulations of BHL accretion to explore how quantum corrections manifest in observable astrophysical phenomena. Using a fiducial BH mass of M=10M_\odot representative of stellar-mass X-ray binaries, we demonstrate that the two models exhibit fundamentally different behaviors: Model-I modifies both temporal and radial metric components, leading to innermost stable circular orbit migration proportional to ζ^4 and dramatic stagnation point evolution from 27M to 5M as quantum corrections strengthen. Model-II preserves the classical temporal component while altering only spatial geometry, maintaining constant stagnation points and stable cavity structures throughout the parameter range. Our numerical simulations reveal distinct QPO generation mechanisms, with Model-I showing systematic frequency evolution and cavity shrinkage that suppresses oscillations for ζ\geq 3M, while Model-II maintains stable low-frequency modes up to ζ\geq 5M. Power spectral density analyzes demonstrate characteristic frequency ratios (3:2, 2:1, 5:3) consistent with observations from X-ray binaries, providing specific targets for discriminating between quantum correction scenarios. The hydrodynamically derived constraints (ζ\lesssim 4M) show remarkable agreement with independent EHT limits for M87* and Sgr A*, validating our theoretical framework through multiple observational channels. These results establish QPO frequency analysis as a probe for detecting quantum gravitational effects in astrophysical BHs and demonstrate the complementary nature of timing and imaging observations in constraining fundamental physics.

Evolution of Shock Structures and QPOs After Halting BHL Accretion onto Kerr Black Hole

In this paper, we investigate for the first time the quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) that arise as a result of halting the Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton (BHL) accretion mechanism around a Kerr black hole. Unlike previous studies, which focused on shock cones or perturbed tori, we show that stopping BHL accretion leads to the formation of a new plasma structure. On this plasma structure, spiral shock waves are observed to develop. These shock waves are found to excite both low-frequency (LFQPOs) and high-frequency QPOs (HFQPOs). Two key results emerge from our numerical simulations. First, LFQPOs arise only when the halted flow is supersonic, identifying for the first time the velocity dependence of their formation. Second, nonlinear couplings that produce $3:2$, $2:1$, and $1:2:3$ resonances appear exclusively for rapidly rotating black holes ($a/M = 0.9$), directly linking spin to resonance states. In addition, it is demonstrated that HFQPOs are strongly influenced by the black hole spin. The generated QPOs are observed to be excited through the modes induced by the black hole spacetime curvature. The frequencies obtained from the numerical simulations align with observations of $GRS1915+105$, $XTEJ1550-564$, and $REJ1034+396$, thereby bridging stellar-mass and supermassive black hole systems within a unified framework. Thus, the newly uncovered physical mechanism associated with halted BHL accretion is capable of explaining both the persistence and the intermittency of QPOs across diverse astrophysical environments.

Testing Quantum-Corrected Black Holes with QPOs Observations: A Study of Particle Dynamics and Accretion Flow

We study the epicyclic oscillations of test particles around rotating quantum-corrected black holes (QCBHs), characterized by mass $M$, spin $a$, and quantum deformation parameter $b$. By deriving the radial ($Ω_r$) and vertical ($Ω_θ$) oscillation frequencies, we explore their dependence on spacetime parameters and show that quantum corrections ($b \neq 0$) significantly modify the dynamics compared to the classical Kerr case. Through numerical modelling of accretion around QCBHs, we further examine how $b$ influences strong-field phenomena, comparing the results with test-particle dynamics and observational data. Our analysis reveals: 1. Quantum corrections shift the ISCOs outward, with $b$ altering the effective potential and conditions for stable circular motion. 2. The curvature of the potential and thus the epicyclic frequencies change $Ω_r$ shows up to 25% deviation for typical $b$ values, underscoring sensitivity to quantum effects. 3. Precession behavior is modified: while Lense-Thirring precession ($Ω_{LT}$) remains primarily governed by $a$, periastron precession ($Ω_P$) is notably affected by $b$, especially near the black hole. 4. Accretion disk simulations confirm the physical effects of $b$, aligning well with the test particle analysis. Moreover, quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) frequencies obtained via both approaches agree with observed low-frequency QPOs from sources like GRS $1915+105$, GRO $J1655{-}40$, XTE $J1550{-}564$, and $H1743{-}322$. The distinct frequency profiles and altered ratios offer observational signatures that may distinguish QCBHs from classical black holes. Our findings present testable predictions for X-ray timing and a new avenue to constrain quantum gravity parameters.

Study of Complexity Factor and Stability of Dynamical Systems in $f(G)$ Gravity

In this paper, we evaluate the complexity of the non-static cylindrical geometry with anisotropic matter configuration in the framework of modified Gauss-Bonnet theory. In this perspective, we calculate modified field equations, the C energy formula, and the mass function that helps to understand the astrophysical structures in this modified gravity. Furthermore, we use the Weyl tensor and obtain different structure scalars by orthogonally splitting the Riemann tensor. One of these scalars, $YTF$ is referred to as the complexity factor. This parameter measures the system's complexity due to non-uniform energy density and non-isotropic pressure. We select the identical complexity factor for the structure as used in the non-static scenario while considering the analogous criterion for the most elementary pattern of development. This technique involves formulating structural scalars that illustrate the fundamental features of the system. A fluid distribution that satisfies the vanishing complexity requirement and evolves homologously is characterized as isotropic, geodesic, homogeneous, and shear-free. In the dissipative scenario, the fluid remains geodesic while exhibiting shear, resulting in an extensive array of solutions.

From Low- to High-Frequency QPOs around the Non-Rotating Hairy Horndeski Black Hole: Microquasar GRS 1915+105

Research on the Horndeski black hole, associated with the scalar hairy parameter, offers insights into enigmatic cosmic phenomena such as dark matter. Additionally, the numerical study of the GRS 1915+105 source, which exhibits continuous variability in X-ray observations, along with its physical properties and mechanisms behind Quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) frequencies, can contribute to observational studies. Motivated by this, we examine the variations in physical mechanisms around the non-rotating Horndeski black hole with Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton (BHL) accretion related to the scalar hair parameter and the resulting QPO frequencies. With a decrease in the scalar hair parameter, the shock cone opening angle narrows due to the influence of the scalar field potential, and the stagnation point within the cone moves closer to the black hole horizon. With the changing scalar hair parameter, the simultaneous formation of the shock cone and bow shock is observed. Due to the intense increase in scalar potential, both the shock cone and bow shock disappeared, and a cavity surrounding the black hole forms in the area where the shock cone was. Additionally, QPO oscillations induced by the physical mechanisms observed in relation to the hair parameter are revealed through numerical simulations. A broad range of QPO frequencies is observed, from low to high frequencies, with resonance states like 3:2 occurring. Lastly, we define the potential range of the spin parameter for the GRS 1915+105 source based on the agreement between observational and numerical results. It has also been found that for most of the QPOs obtained from numerical calculations to be consistent with observations, h/M should be greater than -0.5.
