Spherical Particle Orbits around a Rotating Black Hole in Massive Gravity

Abstract

In this paper, we present a rotating de Rham–Gabadadze–Tolley black hole with a positive cosmological constant under massive gravity, achieved by applying a modified Newman–Janis algorithm. The black hole exhibited stable orbits of constant radii, prompting a numerical study of the behavior of the solutions to a nonic equation governing the radii of planar orbits around the black hole. Additionally, we investigated the stability of orbits near the event horizon and provide a comprehensive analytical examination of the solutions to the angular equations of motion. This was followed by a simulation of some spherical particle orbits around the black hole.
