Five dimensional rotating and Quintessence black hole and their hypershadows
Abstract
We present a new five-dimensional rotating quintessence black hole solution. To obtain this, we employ the $5D$ version of the Janis Newman algorithm, which incorporates the Hopf bifurcation. The variation of the quintessence parameter $w_q$ causes the geometry to transition from a regular rotating universe surrounded by a cosmological horizon to a singular rotating geometry, which can represent a naked singularity, a singular extremal black hole, or a singular black hole with both an inner and an outer (event) horizon. We have also determined the properties of the ergosphere. For the study of the shadow, we followed a novel approach in which the $2D$ shadow observed by humans corresponds to cross sections of the $3D$ shadow. We analyzed how quintessence affects both the size and shape of the black hole shadow, showing that increasing the quintessence strength reduces the shadow radius, contrary to the known results in $4D$. We also propose a speculative methodology to test the shadow behavior in five dimensional scenarios, in light of the constraints provided by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) concerning the shadow of the four-dimensional supermassive black hole M87. We identify scenarios in which the theoretical $5D$ results could be consistent with these observational constraints. We have also tested the circularity deviation of our shadows, finding that the results satisfy the bound $\Delta C \leq 0.1$ both in the case with quintessence and in the limiting case without quintessence. Finally, we determine the energy conditions required to support the solution.
