    The authors study the geometry of a tangent sphere bundle of a Riemannian manifold \((M,g)\). They mainly prove the following theorem: Theorem: Let \(T_rM\) be the tangent sphere bundle of constant radius \(r\) of an \(n\)-dimensional Riemannian manifold \(M=(M,g)\) equipped with the standard contact metric structure \((\overline{g},\phi,\xi,\eta)\). Then \((T_r M,\overline{g},\phi,\xi,\eta)\) is \(\eta\)-Einstein if and only if \(M\) is a space of constant sectional curvature \(\frac{1}{r^2}\) or \(\frac{n-2}{r^2}\).
