Combined with the observation of M87*, shadow has gradually became a promising test of the black hole nature. Recently, EHT collaboration gave new constraints on the shadow size at 68% confidence levels. In this work, we consider the new constrains on the black hole spin and charge for the Kerr and Kerr-Newmann black holes via the local curvature radius. For the Kerr black holes, the cases with high spin and large inclination angle are ruled out. For the Kerr-Newmann black holes, two new characteristic constrained patterns for low and high black hole spins are given. Near extremal black holes are always excluded unless for the high spin and low inclination angle. Moreover, we find that low black hole spin and charge can pass these constraints as expected. These results suggest that this approach of curvature radius is effective on constraining black hole parameters. We expect the local concept of the curvature radius will play a more important role on the study of the black hole shadow in the further.

LIGO and Virgo have recently observed a number of gravitational wave (GW) signals that are fully consistent with being emitted by binary black holes described by general relativity. However, there are theoretical proposals of exotic objects that can be massive and compact enough to be easily confused with black holes. Nevertheless, these objects differ from black holes in having nonzero tidal deformabilities, which can allow one to distinguish binaries containing such objects from binary black holes using GW observations. Using full Bayesian parameter estimation, we investigate the possibility of constraining the parameter space of such black hole mimickers with upcoming GW observations. Employing perfect fluid stars with a polytropic equation of state as a simple model that can encompass a variety of possible black hole mimickers, we show how the observed masses and tidal deformabilities of a binary constrain the equation of state. We also show how such constraints can be used to rule out some simple models of boson stars.
The observation of gravitational-wave signals from merging black-hole binaries enables direct measurement of the properties of the black holes. An individual observation allows measurement of the black-hole masses, but only limited information about either the magnitude or orientation of the black hole spins is available, primarily due to the degeneracy between measurements of spin and binary mass ratio. Using the first six black-hole merger observations, we are able to constrain the distribution of black-hole spins. We perform model selection between a set of models with different spin population models combined with a power-law mass distribution to make inferences about the spin distribution. We assume a fixed power-law mass distribution on the black holes, which is supported by the data and provides a realistic distribution of binary mass-ratio. This allows us to accurately account for selection effects due to variations in the signal amplitude with spin magnitude, and provides an improved inference on the spin distribution. We conclude that the first six LIGO and Virgo observations (Abbott et al. 2016a, 2017a,b,c) disfavour highly spinning black holes against low spins by an odds-ratio of 15:1; thus providing strong constraints on spin magnitudes from gravitational-wave observations. Furthermore, we are able to rule out a population of binaries with completely aligned spins, even when the spins of the individual black holes are low, at an odds ratio of 22,000:1, significantly strengthening earlier evidence against aligned spins (Farr et al. 2017). These results provide important information that will aid in our understanding on the formation processes of black-holes.
Our understanding of strong gravity near supermassive compact objects has recently improved thanks to the measurements made by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). We use here the M87* shadow size to infer constraints on the physical charges of a large variety of nonrotating or rotating black holes. For example, we show that the quality of the measurements is already sufficient to rule out that M87* is a highly charged dilaton black hole. Similarly, when considering black holes with two physical and independent charges, we are able to exclude considerable regions of the space of parameters for the doubly-charged dilaton and the Sen black holes.
We test the validity of the Generalized Heisenbergs Uncertainty principle in the presence of strong gravitational fields nearby rotating black holes; Heisenbergs principle is supposed to require additional correction terms when gravity is taken into account, leading to a more general formulation also known as the Generalized Uncertainty Principle. Using as probe electromagnetic waves acquiring orbital angular momentum when lensed by a rotating black hole, we find from numerical simulations a relationship between the spectrum of the orbital angular momentum of light and the corrections needed to formulate the Generalized Uncertainty Principle, here characterized by the rescaled parameter $beta_0$, a function of the Plancks mass and the bare mass of the black hole. Then, from the analysis of the observed twisted light due to the gravitational field of the compact object observed in M87*, we find new limits for the parameter $beta_0$. With this method, complementary to black hole shadow circularity analyses, we obtain more precise limits from the experimental data of M87*, confirming the validity of scenarios compatible with General Relativity, within the uncertainties due to the experimental errors present in EHT data and those due to the numerical simulations and analysis.
We consider the equivalence of quasinormal modes and geodesic quantities recently brought back due to the black hole shadow observation by Event Horizon Telescope. Using WKB method we found an analytical relation between the real part of quasinormal frequencies at the eikonal limit and black hole shadow radius. We verify this correspondence with two black hole families in $4$ and $D$ dimensions, respectively.
