Kerr black holes with synchronised scalar hair and higher azimuthal harmonic index

Shadows of Kerr Black Holes with Scalar Hair.

Using backwards ray tracing, we study the shadows of Kerr black holes with scalar hair (KBHSH). KBHSH interpolate continuously between Kerr BHs and boson stars (BSs), so we start by investigating the lensing of light due to BSs. Moving from the weak to the strong gravity region, BSs-which by themselves have no shadows-are classified, according to the lensing produced, as (i) noncompact, which y...

Instanton Supported Scalar Hair on Black Holes

We present analytical perturbative, and numerical solutions of the Einstein equation which describe a black hole with a nontrivial dilaton field and a purely topological gauge potential. The gauge potential has zero field strength and hence no stress-energy, but it does couple to virtual string worldsheets which wrap around the Euclidean horizon two-sphere, and generate an effective interaction...

Stability and Thermodynamics of AdS Black Holes with Scalar Hair

Recently a class of static spherical black hole solutions with scalar hair was found in four and five dimensional gauged supergravity with modified, but AdS invariant boundary conditions. These black holes are fully specified by a single conserved charge, namely their mass, which acquires a contribution from the scalar field. Here we report on a more detailed study of some of the properties of ...

New Charged Black Holes with Conformal Scalar Hair

A general class of four dimensional, stationary solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell system with a conformally coupled scalar field is constructed in this paper. The stationary case is presented and shown to belong to the Plebanski-Demianski family which implies that the static metric has the form of the C-metric. It is shown that in the static, AdS case, a new family of Black Holes arises. They t...
