By examining the black hole’s mass distribution and horizon thermodynamics, we establish that although charged black holes in BG exhibit local stability, they remain globally unstable. This conclusion is substantiated by the positive-definite Gibbs free energy and the negative-definite Hessian matrix, which collectively indicate a fundamental instability in the system’s global equilibrium. We utilized the effective potential to derive the Lyapunov exponents for both time-like and null geodesics, assessing their stability. We found that the circular orbits beyond the innermost stable circular orbits in the Schwarzschild regime are stable, which contrasts with the RN black hole solution in GR. Furthermore, our findings demonstrate that a strong Bumblebee field induces unstable orbits. We establish that extreme RN black holes in Einstein gravity do not possess quasi-normal frequencies and instead exhibit stable, constant perturbations. In the non-extremal case, perturbations settle into a steady state, maintaining a constant amplitude.

DANTE and the Gated X-ray Detector are employed to measure the sample plasma’s temperature and density, respectively. Initial data show lower transmission than expected by theoretical models, raising questions of whether potential background or data uniformity concerns could produce systematic errors in the inferred transmission. Here, we investigate three concerns thought to be important for the oxygen opacity data, including instrumental scattered background, sample self-emission non-uniformity, and backlight continuum non-uniformity. Additionally, we show the effect of a recently developed method to account for 2nd order crystal reflection. The total effect of these concerns on one experiment is found to be small compared to the observed difference between the inferred transmission and a model calculation at the inferred temperature and density. Thus, we conclude that these potential sources of systematic error cannot account for the observed difference, increasing the likelihood of a real effect due to the high temperature and density conditions.
