Shadow of rotating black hole surrounded by dark matter

Dark matter (DM), a fundamental cosmic component, motivates the study of its influence on black hole (BH) shadows, especially for spinning BHs confirmed by EHT observations. This work generalizes the Schwarzschild BH surrounded by DM to an axisymmetric Kerr BH using the Newman-Janis Algorithm (NJA), investigating the resulting event horizon and ergosphere structures. Employing null geodesics, we examine the effects of DM mass ($\Delta$M) on BH shadow, including its radius, distortion, and the associated energy emission rate. Our analysis reveals that DM has a negligible effect below a critical mass, once this threshold is surpassed, all BH structures expand significantly. Furthermore, DM robustly contributes to the shadow maintaining a near circular shape, even for highly spinning BHs. This pronounced structural expansion under high DM mass may potentially exceed current observational constraints, suggesting that DM must either be absent in the immediate vicinity of the BH or its localized mass must remain below this critical value to be consistent with astrophysical observations.

The perturbation solutions to the Blandford-Znajek mechanism in the Kerr-Sen black hole

We investigate the steady, axisymmetric, force-free magnetosphere of Kerr-Sen black hole (BH) within the framework of the Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton-axion (EMDA) theory. By perturbatively solving the nonlinear Grad-Shafranov (GS) equation, we determine the magnetic field configuration and quantify the influence of the dilaton parameter $r_2$ on the energy extraction rate and radiative efficiency. Our results show that both the energy extraction power and the radiative efficiency increase with $r_2$, exceeding those of the standard Kerr BH, whereas the extraction efficiency remain consistent with the Kerr case. In addition, we perform $\chi^2$ statistical analysis using observational data from six binary BH systems, which indicates that the Kerr BH currently provides a better fit for bulk Lorentz factors $\Gamma = 2$ and $5$.

Self-assembly of flexible patchy nanoparticles in solution

The self-assembly of polymer grafted nanoparticles is more and more used in the field of functional materials. However, there is still a lack of analysis on the dynamic transformation paths of different self-assembly morphologies, which makes it impossible to achieve further precise regulation and targeted design in experiments and industrial production. In this work the effects of patchy property, grafted chain length, ratio and grafting density on the self-assembly behavior and structure of polymer grafted flexible patchy nanoparticles are investigated by dissipative particle dynamics simulation method through the construction of coarse-grained model of polymer grafted ternary nanoparticles. The influence and regulation mechanisms of these factors on the self-assembly structure transformation of flexible patchy nanoparticles are systematically studied, and a variety of structures such as dendritic structure, columnar structure, and bilayer membrane are obtained. The self-assembly structure of flexible patchy nanoparticles obtained in this work (such as bilayer membrane structure) provides a potential application basis for designing drug carriers. By precisely regulating the specific structural characteristics of the system, it is possible to achieve efficient loading of drugs and targeted delivery functions, thus significantly improving the bioavailability and effect of drugs.

Transmembrane transport of polymer brush-grafted nanoparticles into giant vesicles

Polymer brush-grafted nanoparticles have significant application value in fields such as gene therapy and targeted drug delivery. A profound understanding of the interaction mechanisms between these particles and cell membranes represents a critical scientific challenge in biophysics. Using the Self-Consistent Field Theory, this work systematically explores the transmembrane transport of polymer brush-grafted nanoparticles into giant vesicles. The impacts of critical parameters-polymer brush grafting density, nanoparticle size, and giant vesicle membrane thickness-on transport behavior are comprehensively elucidated. The findings reveal two distinct transmembrane transport mechanisms for polymer brush-grafted nanoparticles, which are governed by membrane thickness and grafting density. At high grafting density, the nanoparticles undergo direct transmembrane translocation; at low grafting density, transport occurs via endocytosis. Thermodynamic analysis identifies entropy as the dominant driving force for this process.

Images of shadow and thin accretion disk around Bardeen black hole surrounded by perfect fluid dark matter

We investigate the shadow and optical appearance of Bardeen black hole (BH) immersed in perfect fluid dark matter (PFDM). Using EHT observations of M87* and Sgr A*, we constrain the DM parameter to a narrow range $b/M \sim \mathcal{O}(10^{-1}-10^{-2})$ for M87* and to $\mathcal{O}(10^{-2}-10^{-3})$ for Sgr A*. From these constraints we derive a rough prediction for the PFDM density near the shadow scale ($R_{\mathrm{sh}}\sim5M$): $\rho_{\mathrm{PFDM}} \sim 0.27$-$2.67\,\mathrm{g/cm^3}$ for Sgr A*, dropping to $\sim10^{-24}$-$10^{-25}\,\mathrm{g/cm^3}$ at 100 pc. Moreover, increasing $b$ substantially enlarges the photon sphere, impact parameter, shadow radius, and suppresses the observed disk brightness, while the magnetic charge $g$ produces only negligible corrections completely masked by PFDM on macroscopic scales. Subsequently, we investigate the primary/secondary images, flux, and redshift profiles for the PFDM-Bardeen BH using the Novikov-Thorne disk model, and compare these quantities with those of NFW, Dehnen-type and Moore DM BHs. The four BH types exhibit distinct densities at the shadow radius and at 100 pc, offering a potential distinguishing signature. Furthermore, for all DM BH models, blueshift appears in the primary image as inclination increases, while the secondary image remains redshift dominated even at high inclinations. Hence, if significant blueshifted emission were detected at low inclination, the predictions of these four DM models would be seriously challenged.

Newtonian potential from scattering amplitudes in super-renormalizable gravity

Based on the classical limit of relativistic scattering amplitudes, we compute the coupling between a general super-renormalizable gravity and massive scalar particles. This allows us to derive the $D$-dimensional metric corrections at both tree-level and one-loop level-the latter containing the first calculation by using newly derived three-graviton Feynman rules. By introducing Newtonian potential function $\Phi\equiv\frac{h_{00}}{2}$, we reproduce at tree level, $\mathcal{O}(G)$, the well-known result proportional to the error function in four-dimensional spacetime. Furthermore, we obtain the loop-level contributions to the potential function at order $\mathcal{O}(G^2)$ and perform a numerical analysis of its behavior at large distances. Our results indicate that, at the one-loop level, the magnitude of the potential increases gradually with distance in the asymptotic regime.

Dynamic self-assembly of active particle systems controlled by light fields

Active particle systems are a class of non-equilibrium systems composed of self-propelled Brownian particles; through interactions between particles within the system, a variety of intriguing collective behaviors can emerge. Based on Brownian dynamics simulations, this study investigates the formation and transition mechanisms of ordered structures in active particle systems regulated by light fields. The study reveals that, under light field regulation, active particles undergo large-scale phase separation behavior, forming specific ordered structures and enabling the dynamic transition between multiple ordered structures. This study systematically explores the effects of light fields on this dynamic phase transition and the corresponding regulatory mechanisms. The research findings provide important references for the precise regulation of collective structures in active systems and the fabrication of micro-nano intelligent devices.
