We study the black holes shadow for Schwarzschild - de Sitter and Kerr - de Sitter metrics with the contribution of the cosmological constant Lambda. Based on the reported parameters of the M87* black hole shadow we obtain constraints for the $Lambda$ and show the agreement with the cosmological data. It is shown that, the coupling of the Lambda-term with the spin parameter reveals peculiarities for the photon spheres and hence for the shadows. Within the parametrized post-Newtonian formalism the constraint for the corresponding Lambda-determined parameter is obtained.

Quasinormal modes of perturbed black holes have recently gained much interest because of their tight relations with the gravitational wave signals emitted during the post-merger phase of a binary black hole coalescence. One of the intriguing features of these modes is that they respect the no-hair theorem, and hence, they can be used to test black hole space-times and the underlying gravitational theory. In this paper, we exhibit three different aspects of how black hole quasinormal modes could be altered in theories beyond Einstein general relativity. These aspects are the direct alterations of quasinormal modes spectra as compared with those in general relativity, the violation of the geometric correspondence between the high-frequency quasinormal modes and the photon geodesics around the black hole, and the breaking of the isospectrality between the axial and polar gravitational perturbations. Several examples will be provided in each individual case. The prospects and possible challenges associated with future observations will be also discussed.

A covariant modified gravity (MOG) is formulated by adding to general relativity two new degrees of freedom, a scalar field gravitational coupling strength $G= 1/chi$ and a gravitational spin 1 vector field $phi_mu$. The $G$ is written as $G=G_N(1+al pha)$ where $G_N$ is Newtons constant, and the gravitational source charge for the vector field is $Q_g=sqrt{alpha G_N}M$, where $M$ is the mass of a body. Cosmological solutions of the theory are derived in a homogeneous and isotropic cosmology. Black holes in MOG are stationary as the end product of gravitational collapse and are axisymmetric solutions with spherical topology. It is shown that the scalar field $chi$ is constant everywhere for an isolated black hole with asymptotic flat boundary condition. A consequence of this is that the scalar field loses its monopole moment radiation.
We extend a recent work on weak field first order light deflection in the MOdified Gravity (MOG) by comprehensively analyzing the actual observables in gravitational lensing both in the weak and strong field regime. The static spherically symmetric b lack hole (BH) obtained by Moffat is what we call here the Schwarzschild-MOG (abbreviated as SMOG) containing repulsive Yukawa-like force characterized by the MOG parameter $alpha>0$ diminishing gravitational attraction. We point out a remarkable feature of SMOG, viz., it resembles a regular textit{brane-world} BH in the range $-1<alpha <0$ giving rise to a negative tidal charge $Q$ ($=frac{1}{4}frac{alpha }{1+alpha}$) interpreted as an imprint from the $5D$ bulk with an imaginary source charge $q$ in the brane. The Yukawa-like force of MOG is attractive in the brane-world range enhancing gravitational attraction. For $-infty <alpha <-1$, the SMOG represents a naked singularity. Specifically, we shall investigate the effect of $alpha $ or Yukawa-type forces on the weak (up to third PPN order) and strong field lensing observables. For illustration, we consider the supermassive BH SgrA* with $alpha =0.055$ for the weak field to quantify the deviation of observables from GR but in general we leave $alpha$ unrestricted both in sign and magnitude so that future accurate lensing measurements, which are quite challenging, may constrain $alpha$.
Under the assumption that a dynamical scalar field is responsible for the current acceleration of the Universe, we explore the possibility of probing its physics in black hole merger processes with gravitational wave interferometers. Remaining agnost ic about the microscopic physics, we use an effective field theory approach to describe the scalar dynamics. We investigate the case in which some of the higher derivative operators, that are highly suppressed on cosmological scales, instead become important on typical distances for black holes. If a coupling to the Gauss-Bonnet operator is one of them, a non-trivial background profile for the scalar field can be sourced in the surroundings of the black hole, resulting in a potentially large amount of hair. In turn, this can induce sizeable modifications to the spacetime geometry or a mixing between the scalar and the gravitational perturbations. Both effects will ultimately translate into a modification of the quasi-normal mode spectrum in a way that is also sensitive to other operators besides the one sourcing the scalar background. The presence of deviations from the predictions of general relativity in the observed spectrum can therefore serve as a window onto dark energy physics.
We consider a modified gravity framework for inflation by adding to the Einstein-Hilbert action a direct $f(phi)T$ term, where $phi$ is identified as the inflaton and $T$ is the trace of the energy-momentum tensor. The framework goes to Einstein grav ity naturally when inflaton decays out. We investigate inflation dynamics in this $f(phi)T$ gravity (not to be confused with torsion-scalar coupled theories) on a general basis, and then apply it to three well-motivated inflationary models. We find that the predictions for the spectral tilt and the tensor-to-scalar ratio are sensitive to this new $f(phi)T$ term. This $f(phi)T$ gravity brings both chaotic and natural inflation into better agreement with data. For Starobinsky inflation, the coupling constant $alpha$ in $[-0.0026,0.0031]$ for $N=60$ is in Planck-allowed $2sigma$ region.
