Second-order slow rotation of wormholes in Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity

We investigate slowly rotating traversable wormholes in Einstein--scalar--Gauss--Bonnet gravity beyond the linear rotation regime. The static backgrounds are obtained without expanding in the Gauss--Bonnet coupling, while rotational effects are treated perturbatively up to second order. Both monopolar and quadrupolar deformations are included, allowing us to determine the spin-induced changes in the asymptotic charges, throat geometry, energy-condition behavior, and mass quadrupole. The quadrupolar equations develop an internal regular singular point, which is handled by selecting the regular local solution through a Frobenius analysis. The rotation-induced response of the throat source is incorporated consistently through the junction conditions. Independent shooting and collocation calculations of the quadrupolar sector give mutually consistent solutions. The rotating throat remains oblate throughout the fixed-coupling family, while at $χ=0.15$ the smooth-bulk near-throat radial null-energy-condition violation persists but its radial extent becomes latitude dependent. These results provide a self-consistent second-order description of rotating Einstein--scalar--Gauss--Bonnet wormholes.

Kerr-referenced analytical parametrization of rotating black holes in dynamical Chern-Simons gravity

Rotating black holes in dynamical Chern-Simons gravity are known nonperturbatively mainly through numerical solutions, which limits their direct use in strong-field applications. We construct a Kerr-referenced analytical parametrization of the near-general-relativistic numerical branch using a compact radial coordinate, low-order angular multipoles, and continued fractions. The resulting two-parameter family accurately reproduces the numerical metric throughout the validated weak-coupling and moderate-spin domain. Independent off-grid solutions confirm that the parametrization retains its accuracy away from the calibration set. We further assess the model through equatorial light rings, critical impact parameters, and full two-dimensional null-geodesic ray tracing without assuming separability. The resulting shadow observables closely match those obtained from the numerical geometries. This parametrization therefore provides a practical analytical metric for geodesic and strong-field calculations without relying on a slow-rotation expansion.

Slow rotation of a localized Kalb-Ramond wormhole: Wald charges and fractional quadrupolar hair

We construct an action-consistent slow-rotation branch, through second order, for a traversable wormhole supported by a phantom scalar, a scalar-localized radial string sector, and a Kalb-Ramond two-form coupled nonminimally to both the Ricci scalar and Ricci tensor. For the regular benchmark branch, covariant asymptotic analysis shows a vanishing ADM mass, while the first-order axial mode carries finite Iyer-Wald angular momentum. The nonminimal contributions to the angular charge decay at infinity, so the covariant and metric definitions of angular momentum agree. At second order, no nonzero mass correction is resolved; at fixed asymptotic scalar charge, rotation increases the throat area and makes the throat oblate. The most distinctive result arises in the quadrupolar sector. A long-range polar Kalb-Ramond response couples to the localized background and generates a matter-supported metric tail that decays more slowly than the ordinary vacuum quadrupole. The same noninteger hierarchy appears in curvature and reduces the differentiability of the conformal completion at spatial infinity. Consequently, the Geroch-Hansen and asymptotically Cartesian mass-centered quadrupole constructions are not applicable in their standard smooth form to this branch, even though its global mass and angular-momentum charges remain well defined. This separates charge-level asymptotic flatness from smooth multipolar asymptotics and identifies fractional Kalb-Ramond hair as the leading rotational quadrupolar signature of the benchmark solution.

Blandford-Znajek Scaling in a Power-Law Rotating Kalb-Ramond Geometry: Magnetic-Flux Systematics and Bayesian Identifiability

Relativistic jets from spinning black holes offer a possible strong-field probe of gravity through the Blandford-Znajek mechanism. We study the leading jet-power scaling in the four-dimensional power-law rotating Kalb-Ramond geometry introduced by Kumar, Ghosh, and Wang. The metric is used here as a stationary background, without assuming that it constitutes a newly established exact rotating solution. We first examine the deformation at the metric level. For $s=2$ it is absorbed completely by a mass redefinition, whereas for $s>2$ the correction decays more slowly than the usual mass term. Our main benchmark is therefore the nondegenerate $s=3/2$ case, whose correction falls faster than the Kerr mass term; $s=3$ is kept as a secondary comparison. We evaluate the BZ scaling under three magnetic assumptions: fixed total horizon flux, fixed local normal field with the proper horizon area, and a reduced radius-based flux proxy. The resulting trends differ appreciably, showing that the magnetic prescription is itself a leading systematic. For GRO J1655-40 and GRS 1915+105, the marginalized deformation posterior remains close to the horizon-conditioned effective prior for both a uniform prior and a truncated-Gaussian alternative. The jet-only profile likelihood is also nearly flat over the allowed deformation range, with the same qualitative behavior in the $s=3$ test. Thus, within the present setup, the jet-power proxies do not independently determine the Kalb-Ramond deformation. A stronger inference will require better control of the rotating background, source-dependent magnetic flux, non-Kerr spin estimates, and a larger sample.

Massive neutral Dirac quasibound states in a Newman-Janis-generated rotating charged Kalb-Ramond black-hole geometry

We study quasibound states of a massive neutral Dirac field in the Newman-Janis-generated rotating charged geometry used in Lorentz-violating Kalb-Ramond (KR) gravity. Rather than assuming that the Kerr separation survives the deformation, we first recast the metric in four-dimensional off-shell Carter form. The corresponding principal closed conformal Killing-Yano tensor then provides the hidden symmetry needed to separate the torsion-free, minimally coupled Dirac equation. We derive the horizon and large-radius boundary conditions, including the non-Minkowskian asymptotic normalization, and determine the complex spectrum from coupled angular and matrix radial continued fractions. The code reproduces the Kerr spectrum and is checked by truncation studies and independent two-sided radial integrations. In scans at fixed metric parameters, increasing the KR parameter moves most real frequencies toward the mass threshold and reduces most decay rates. These trends are not invariant, however, because the same variation changes both the asymptotic potential scale and the distance from extremality. A scan in which these two quantities are held fixed changes the absolute ground-state trend but preserves a reversal in the real-frequency ordering of the maximal-$m$, $j=3/2$, $\ell=1$ pair. The location of the crossing shifts with the normalization convention. Thus the level reordering is more robust than the individual monotonic trends in binding energy or lifetime within this background family.

Circular-orbit dynamics and QPO constraints in static Einstein--scalar--Gauss--Bonnet black holes

Einstein--scalar--Gauss--Bonnet (EsGB) gravity provides a physically motivated framework for testing strong-field deviations from the Schwarzschild geometry through scalar hair. We study neutral-particle circular motion and high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (HF-QPOs) in static EsGB black holes described by a continued-fraction metric with a single dimensionless deformation parameter \(p\) on the Schwarzschild-connected quadratic-coupling branch. We determine the effective potential, circular-orbit energy and angular momentum, characteristic radii, and orbital and radial epicyclic frequencies, and apply the relativistic precession model to twin-peak QPO data from XTE J1550--564, GRO J1655--40, GRS 1915+105, and M82 X-1. A source-by-source Markov chain Monte Carlo analysis shows that the observed frequency pairs can be reproduced within their uncertainties and that the radial epicyclic frequency carries the main model-level sensitivity to \(p\). However, a controlled prior-sensitivity analysis using uniform and truncated Gaussian priors finds that the marginal posterior of \(p\) closely follows the adopted prior for all four sources. This reflects the intrinsic underconstraint of fitting three correlated parameters \((M,p,r)\) to two measured frequencies. The inferred intervals therefore represent model-dependent compatibility regions rather than an independent measurement or preferred value of the EsGB deformation. The static results provide a baseline for future rotating and multi-observable tests.

Particle dynamics and quasi-periodic oscillations of a Reissner--Nordström-like black hole in Kalb--Ramond gravity under an external magnetic test field

We investigate the dynamics of charged test particles and quasi-periodic oscillations around a Reissner--Nordström-like black hole in Kalb--Ramond (KR) gravity in the presence of an external magnetic test field. The KR background introduces a Lorentz-violating parameter $\ell$, which modifies the spacetime geometry, horizon structure, circular orbits, and characteristic frequencies of particle motion. In contrast to the standard Wald-type prescription, the magnetic-field configuration is constructed from the source-free Maxwell equation on the charged KR background, allowing the magnetic profile to be consistently adapted to the modified geometry. We derive the equations of motion, the effective potential, the conditions for circular orbits, and the orbital and radial epicyclic frequencies of charged particles. The results show that the black-hole charge $Q/M$, the KR parameter $\ell$, the specific particle charge $ε$, and the magnetic coupling $β=bM$ jointly affect the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) and the quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) frequencies. We then apply the obtained frequencies to the relativistic precession model, where the upper QPO frequency is identified with the orbital frequency and the lower one with the periastron-precession frequency. Using the observed twin-peak QPO data of GRO J1655--40, XTE J1550--564, and M82 X-1, we perform a Markov chain Monte Carlo analysis to constrain the model parameters. The obtained posterior constraints indicate that the charged KR black-hole model with an external magnetic field can consistently reproduce the observed QPO pairs within the adopted parameter ranges. These findings suggest that QPO observations may serve as a useful phenomenological tool for probing Lorentz-violating black-hole geometries and electromagnetic effects in strong-gravity environments.

Grey-Body Factors and Thermodynamics of Asymptotically de Sitter Black Holes in Generalized Proca Theory

Generalized Proca theory supplements gravity with a massive vector field whose derivative self-interactions can support black holes carrying primary vector hair. In the asymptotically de Sitter branch considered here, the de Sitter scale is effective: it is generated by the vector sector rather than imposed through a bare cosmological-constant term. We compute grey-body factors and effective absorption cross-sections for massive scalar, electromagnetic, and massless Dirac test fields on this background. The transmission curves are obtained from a sixth-order WKB barrier calculation and are compared with the quasinormal-mode reconstruction; the two descriptions mostly agree, with small visible differences at lower mutlipoles. Increasing the scalar mass raises and broadens the scalar barrier, suppresses transmission at fixed frequency, and shifts efficient transmission to higher frequencies. The couplings considerably affect the grey-body factors and black hole thermodynamics.

Bardeen spacetime as quantum corrected black hole: Grey-body factors and quasinormal modes of gravitational perturbations

We study axial gravitational perturbations of the asymptotically flat Bardeen spacetime interpreted as a string-T-duality-inspired quantum-corrected Schwarzschild black hole. Starting from the anisotropic-fluid background, we derive the Regge--Wheeler-type master equation and the corresponding effective potential, and compute quasinormal modes with high-order WKB--Padé and time-domain methods. We show that increasing the quantum-correction scale $\ell_0$ raises and shifts the barrier inward, causing the black hole to ring at higher frequencies and decay more slowly. The same deformation suppresses low-frequency transmission, shifts the onset of grey-body factors to larger frequencies, and reorganizes the partial and total absorption cross-sections. Overall, the results identify a clear and consistent imprint of short-distance regularization on both ringdown and scattering observables.

A First-Order Eikonal Framework for Quasinormal Modes, Shadows, Strong Lensing, and Grey-Body Factors in a Scalarized Black-Hole Metric

We construct an analytic geodesic-optics description of quasinormal ringing, black-hole shadows, strong lensing, and grey-body factors for the static spherical metric introduced in [Bakopoulos, et. al. arXiv:2310.11919]. Working in a weak-hair regime, we derive closed first-order formulas for the photon-sphere radius, orbital frequency, and Lyapunov exponent. These invariants are then employed within the Schutz--Will WKB approach to obtain eikonal quasinormal frequencies, mapped to shadow and strong-deflection observables through exact identities for static spherical geometries, and used to build a closed analytic form for the transmission probability. At leading eikonal order, these relations are controlled by null geodesics and are therefore spin-universal for test scalar/electromagnetic/gravitational sectors, up to subleading corrections. Besides the standard ringdown--shadow correspondence, we present three additional results: (i) an explicit quality-factor correction, (ii) limiting core-size expansions that show when damping ratios are nearly insensitive to the scalarized core, and (iii) a comparative study of grey-body factors for moderate multipoles and several core-size ratios. The resulting construction provides a concise one-parameter connection from the metric function to ringdown, lensing, and scattering observables.

Two types of quasinormal modes of Casadio-Fabbri-Mazzacurati brane-world black holes

Using the convergent Leaver method, we investigate the quasinormal modes of a massive scalar field propagating in the background of the Casadio--Fabbri--Mazzacurati (CFM) brane-world black hole. We show that the spectrum exhibits two distinct types of modes, depending on their behavior as the field mass increases. In one class, the real oscillation frequency decreases and eventually approaches zero, while in the other the damping rate tends to vanish. When either the real or imaginary part of the frequency reaches zero, the corresponding mode disappears from the spectrum, and the first overtone replaces it. The emergence of modes with a vanishing real part at certain critical values of the field mass is a distinctive feature of the CFM spectrum.

Black holes in general relativity coupled with NEDs surrounded by PFDM: thermodynamics, epicyclic oscillations, QPOs, and shadow

In this work, we investigate the thermodynamics and motion of neutral test particles around a regular black hole immersed in a perfect fluid dark matter environment. We begin by examining the horizon structure and key thermodynamic properties, with particular emphasis on quantities such as the Hawking temperature and the specific heat capacity. These aspects provide important insight into the stability and physical behavior of the black hole system. We then proceed to analyze the dynamics of neutral test particles using the Hamiltonian formalism, through which we derive the effective potential governing particle motion. Using the effective potential, we further study quasiperiodic oscillations by determining the associated epicyclic frequencies and comparing them with available observational data. Using the observed QPO data of XTE J1550-564, GRO J1655-40, GRS 1915+105, and M82 X-1, we perform a Markov Chain Monte Carlo analysis to constrain the black hole mass, the magnetic charge parameter, the PFDM parameter, and the characteristic orbital radius. Finally, we investigate the black hole shadow and demonstrate how various geometric parameters influence its optical appearance. This analysis highlights the potential observational signatures of such black holes and their surrounding dark matter environment.

Dymnikova Black Hole Immersed in Perfect Fluid Dark Matter and a Cloud of Strings: Hawking Temperature, Dynamics and QPOs Analysis

The Dymnikova black hole represents a regular spacetime solution interpolating between a de Sitter core and an asymptotically Schwarzschild geometry. In this work, we investigate a generalized Dymnikova black hole surrounded by perfect fluid dark matter (PFDM) and immersed in a cloud of strings (CS). We analyze how these additional matter sources modify the thermodynamic, optical, and dynamical properties of the spacetime. We derive the Hawking temperature and specific heat capacity and examine the thermal stability and phase structure of the black hole. The results reveal non-monotonic temperature behavior and parameter-dependent phase transitions. We further study photon dynamics, including the photon sphere and black hole shadow, and show that both PFDM and string cloud parameters significantly affect the shadow radius and strong-field structure. Additionally, we investigate the motion of massive test particles, circular orbits, and stability conditions. The corresponding effective potentials, specific energy, and angular momentum are analyzed. Finally, we explore quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) by computing the fundamental epicyclic frequencies and discuss how the model parameters encode observable astrophysical signatures.

Ringing Regularity: Gravitational Perturbations and Quasinormal Modes of Einasto-Supported Black Holes

We investigate axial gravitational perturbations and quasinormal modes of regular black holes supported by an Einasto distribution of matter. Halo matter not only removes the central singularity but also modifies the quasinormal spectrum. We show that the resulting quasinormal spectrum deviates systematically from the Schwarzschild case, with shifts in both oscillation frequencies and damping rates that grow with the halo scale parameter and the Einasto index. In near-extremal configurations, the damping rate can be significantly suppressed, leading to long-lived modes. The effects of regularity and environmental factors on the spectrum are found to be substantially larger than the estimated numerical uncertainty, as confirmed independently by high-order WKB calculations with Padé resummation and time-domain integration.

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.

Dynamics of particles with electric charge and magnetic dipole moment near Schwarzschild-MOG black hole

Investigations of electromagnetic interactions between test-charged and magnetized particles are important in the dynamics of the particles in strong gravitational fields around black holes. Here, we study the dynamics of a particle having an electric charge and a magnetic dipole moment in the spacetime of a Schwarzschild black hole in modified gravity (MOG), called Schwarzschild-MOG black hole. First, we provide a solution of Maxwell equations for the angular component of electromagnetic four potentials in the Schwarzschild-MOG spacetime. Then, we derive equations of motion and effective potential for circular motion of such particles using a hybrid form of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation which includes both interactions of electric charge and magnetic dipole moment with the external magnetic field assumed as asymptotically uniform, and interaction between the particles and the MOG field. Also, we investigate the effects of the three types of interactions on the radius of innermost stable circular orbits (ISCOs) and the energy \& angular momentum of the particles at their corresponding ISCOs. Finally, we provide detailed analyses of the effects of the three interactions mentioned above on the center of mass energy in the collisions between neutral, electrically charged, and magnetized particles.

Wormhole solutions with NUT charge in higher curvature theories

We present wormholes with a Newman-Unti-Tamburino (NUT) charge that arise in certain higher curvature theories, where a scalar field is coupled to a higher curvature invariant. For the invariants we employ i) a Gauss-Bonnet term and ii) a Chern-Simons term, which then act as source terms for the scalar field. We map out the domain of existence of wormhole solutions by varying the coupling parameter and the scalar charge for a set of fixed values of the NUT charge. The domain of existence for a given NUT charge is then delimited by the set of scalarized nutty black holes, a set of wormhole solutions with a degenerate throat and a set of singular solutions.

Scalarized nutty wormholes

We construct scalarized wormholes with a NUT charge in higher curvature theories. We consider both Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet and Einstein-scalar-Chern-Simons theories, following a recent paper by Brihaye et al. [1], where spontaneously scalarised Schwarzschild-NUT solutions were studied. By varying the coupling parameter and the scalar charge we determine the domain of existence of the scalarized nutty wormholes, and their dependence on the NUT charge. In the Gauss-Bonnet case the known set of scalarized wormholes [2] is reached in the limit of vanishing NUT charge. In the Chern-Simons case, however, the limit is peculiar, since with vanishing NUT charge the coupling constant diverges. We focus on scalarized nutty wormholes with a single throat and study their properties. All these scalarized nutty wormholes feature a critical polar angle, beyond which closed timelike curves are present.
