Our theoretical states for quarkonium systems align with experimental data across a range of spin levels, as evidenced by our comparison. The total percentage error of our work was computed, yielding a high level of accuracy. The cumulative percentage error for the meson masses of charmonia and bottomonia was determined to be 0.324% and 0.333%, respectively. The masses of the bottom-charm mesons had a total percentage error of 0.012%.

This type of insertion is necessary because the black hole radiates its energy and momentum in the form of gravitational waves and Hawking radiation. Along with the temporal perturbation, the S-AdS black hole (BH) is immersed in an external magnetic field. We conduct an in-depth examination of the dynamics of charged particles near a weakly magnetized and time conformal S-AdS BH. Our analysis involves calculating the shift in the position of the innermost circular orbit (ISCO) caused by both temporal perturbation and the presence of a magnetic field. Furthermore, we explore the influence of dark energy (DE) and angular momentum on the stability of these orbits.
