One century after its formulation, Einstein's general relativity (GR) has made remarkable
predictions and turned out to be compatible with all experimental tests. Most of these tests …

Scalarization is a mechanism that endows strongly self-gravitating bodies, such as neutron
stars and black holes, with a scalar-field configuration. It resembles a phase transition in that …

In the present Letter, we consider a class of extended scalar-tensor-Gauss-Bonnet (ESTGB)
theories for which the scalar degree of freedom is excited only in the extreme curvature …

Extended scalar-tensor Gauss-Bonnet (ESTGB) gravity has been recently argued to exhibit
spontaneous scalarization of vacuum black holes (BHs). A similar phenomenon can be …

Scalar-tensor theories of gravity where a new scalar degree of freedom couples to the
Gauss-Bonnet invariant can exhibit the phenomenon of spontaneous black hole …

Recently a new class of scalarized black holes in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) theories
was discovered. What is special for these black hole solutions is that the scalarization is not …

Exploring the nature of gravity in the strong curvature regime is seeing a surge of interest
lately. This is expected to intensify, as it is driven by current and future observations of …

In this paper, we study static and spherically symmetric black hole (BH) solutions in the
scalar-tensor theories with the coupling of the scalar field to the Gauss-Bonnet (GB) term, ξ …

Some models (such as the Skyrme model, a low-energy effective field theory for quantum
chromodynamics) suggest that the high-density matter prevailing in neutron star (NS) …

Recently new scalarized black hole solutions were constructed in the extended scalar-
tensor-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, where the scalar field is sourced by the curvature of the …
