We study scalar, electromagnetic, axial, and polar gravitational
perturbations of the four-dimensional Reissner-Nordström-like black
holes with a tidal charge in the Randall-Sundrum braneworld in the first
approximation when the tidal perturbations are not taken into account.
The quasinormal modes of these perturbations have been studied in both
normal and eikonal regimes. Calculations have shown that the black holes
on the Randall-Sundrum brane are stable against all kinds of
perturbations. Moreover, we determine the greybody factor, giving
transmission and reflection of the scattered waves through the effective
potentials. It has been shown that the scalar perturbative fields are
the most favorite to reflect the wave as compared to the other fields.
With increasing value of the tidal charge, the ability of the all
perturbative potentials to reflect the waves decreases. Our calculations
in low- and high-frequency regimes have shown that black holes on the
braneworld always have a bigger absorption cross section of massless
scalar waves than the Schwarzschild and standard Reissner-Nordström
black holes.

We study optical effects in quintessential Kerr black hole spacetimes
corresponding to the limiting case of the equation-of-state parameter
$omega_{q}=-1/3$ of the quintessence. In dependence on the
dimensionless quintessential field parameter $c$, we determine the black
hole silhouette and the spectral line profiles of Keplerian disks
generated in this special quintessential Kerr geometry, representing an
extension of the general modifications of the Kerr geometry introduced
recently by Ghasemi-Nodehi and Bambi cite{Gha-Bam:2016:EPJC:}. We
demonstrate that due to the influence of the parameter $c$, the
silhouette is almost homogeneously enlarged, and the spectral line
profiles are redshifted with almost conserved shape.

We study the motion of charged particles in the field of a rotating
black hole immersed into an external asymptotically uniform magnetic
field, focusing on the epicyclic quasicircular orbits near the
equatorial plane. Separating the circular orbits into four qualitatively
different classes according to the sign of the canonical angular
momentum of the motion and the orientation of the Lorentz force, we
analyze the circular orbits using the so-called force formalism. We find
the analytical solutions for the radial profiles of velocity, specific
angular momentum, and specific energy of the circular orbits in
dependence on the black-hole dimensionless spin and the magnetic field
strength. The innermost stable circular orbits are determined for all
four classes of the circular orbits. The stable circular orbits with an
outward-oriented Lorentz force can extend to radii lower than the radius
of the corresponding photon circular geodesic. We calculate the
frequencies of the harmonic oscillatory motion of the charged particles
in the radial and vertical directions related to the equatorial circular
orbits and study the radial profiles of the radial, ωr;
vertical, ωθ; and orbital, ωϕ, frequencies,
finding significant differences in comparison to the epicyclic geodesic
circular motion. The most important new phenomenon is the existence of
toroidal charged particle epicyclic motion with
ωr̃ωθ≫ωϕ that could occur around
retrograde circular orbits with an outward-oriented Lorentz force. We
demonstrate that for the rapidly rotating black holes the role of the
"Wald induced charge" can be relevant.

Shape and frequency-shift maps of direct and indirect images of
Keplerian discs orbiting in Bardeen and Ayòn-Beato-Garcìa (ABG) black
hole and no-horizon spacetimes are determined. Then profiles of spectral
lines generated in the innermost parts of the Keplerian discs in the
Bardeen and ABG spacetimes are constructed. The frequency-shift maps and
profiled spectral lines are compared to those generated in the field of
Schwarzschild black holes and possible observationally relevant
signatures of the regular black hole and no-horizon spacetimes are
discussed. We demonstrate that differences relative to the Schwarzschild
spacetimes are for the no-horizon spacetimes much more profound in
comparison to the regular black hole spacetimes and increase with
increasing charge parameter of the spacetime. The differences are
greater for small and large inclination angles than for intermediate
ones. For the no-horizon spacetimes, the differences enable us to
distinguish the Bardeen and ABG spacetime, if inclination angle to the
distant observer is known. We also show that contribution of the so-
called ghost images to the profiled lines increases with increasing
charge parameter of the spacetimes.

We analyze the possibility that several instability points may be
formed, due to the Paczyński mechanism of violation of mechanical
equilibrium, in the orbiting matter around a supermassive Kerr black
hole. We consider a recently proposed model of a ringed accretion disk,
made up by several tori (rings) that can be corotating or counter-
rotating relative to the Kerr attractor due to the history of the
accretion process. Each torus is governed by the general relativistic
hydrodynamic Boyer condition of equilibrium configurations of rotating
perfect fluids. We prove that the number of the instability points is
generally limited and depends on the dimensionless spin of the rotating
attractor.

In this work the model is constructed to describe the black hole
enclosed in the dust cosmological background in case of zero spatial
curvature. This model is based on our exact solution of the class of LTB
inhomogeneous solutions. We considered the properties of the model and
built the R-T-structure of the resulting space-time. It was shown that
central region includes the Schwarzchild-like black hole. We derived the
equations of motion of the test particle from the point of view of the
observer comoving with cosmological expansion. We found analytical
expressions for observable orbital and radial velocities of the particle
and plotted the surface profile of the total velocity in this case. In
comoving coordinate frame it is impossible to study the questions
concerning the black hole horizon but one can observe the local motion
of the particles influenced by the cosmological expansion.

Frequencies of the three quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) modes observed
simultaneously in the accreting black hole GRO J1655-40 are compared
with the predictions of models. Models in which all three QPO signals
are produced at the same radius are considered: these include different
versions of relativistic precession, epicyclic resonance, tidal
disruption, and warped disc models. Models that were originally proposed
to interpret only the twin high-frequency QPOs are generalized here to
interpret also the low-frequency QPO in terms of relativistic nodal
precession. Inferred values of the black hole mass and spin from each
QPO model are compared with the mass measured from optical observations
and the spin inferred from X-ray spectroscopy techniques. We find that
along with the relativistic precession model predicting M = (5.3
± 0.1) M⊙,a = 0.286 ± 0.004, the so-called
total precession model (M = (5.5 ± 0.1) M⊙,a =
0.276 ± 0.003), and the resonance epicyclic model with beat
frequency (M = (5.1 ± 0.1) M⊙,a = 0.274 ±
0.003) also satisfy the optical mass test.
