Shadow and quasinormal modes of the Kerr-Newman-Kiselev-Letelier black hole

We investigate the null geodesics and the shadow cast by the Kerr-Newman-Kiselev-Letelier (KNKL) black hole for the equation of state parameter $ω_q=-2/3$ and for different values of the spacetime parameters, including the quintessence parameter $γ$, the cloud of string (CS) parameter $b$, the spin parameter $a$ and the charge $Q$ of the black hole. We notice that for the increasing values of the parameters $γ$ and $b$ the size of the shadow of the KNKL black hole increases and consequently the strength of the gravitational field of the black hole increases. On the other hand with increase in the charge $Q$ of the black hole the size of the shadow of the black hole decreases. Further with the increase in the values of the spin parameter $a$ of the KNKL black hole, we see that the distortion of the shadow of the black hole becomes more prominent. Moreover we use the data released by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration, to restrict the parameters $b$ and $γ$ for the KNKL black hole, using the shadow cast by the KNKL black hole. To this end, we also explore the relation between the typical shadow radius and the equatorial and polar quasinormal mods (QNMs) for the KNKL black hole and extend this correspondence to non-asymptotically flat spacetimes. We also study the emission energy rate from the KNKL black hole for the various spacetime parameters, and observe that it increases for the increasing values of both the parameters $γ$ and $b$ for fixed charge-to-mass and spin-to-mass ratios of the KNKL black hole. Finally, we investigate the effects of plasma on the photon motion, size and shape of the shadow cast by the KNKL black hole...

Constraints on the magnetized Ernst black hole spacetime through quasiperiodic oscillations

We study the dynamics of test particles around a magnetized Ernst black hole considering its magnetic field in the environment surrounding the black hole. We show how its magnetic field can influence the dynamics of particles and epicyclic motion around the black hole. Based on the analysis, we find that the radius of the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) for both neutral and charged test particles and epicyclic frequencies are strongly affected by the influence of the magnetic field. We also show that the ISCO radius of charged particles decreases rapidly. It turns out that the gravitational and Lorentz forces of the magnetic field are combined, thus strongly shrinking the values of the ISCO of charged test particles. Finally, we obtain the generic form for the epicyclic frequencies and select three microquasars with known astrophysical quasiperiodic oscillation (QPO) data to constrain the magnetic field.We show that the magnetic field is of the order of magnitude $B\sim 10^{-7}$ Gauss, taking into account the motion of neutral particles in circular orbit about the black hole.

Constraining Wormhole Geometries using the Orbit of S2 Star and the Event Horizon Telescope

In this paper we study the possibility of having a wormhole (WH) as a candidate for the Sgr A$^\star$ central object and test this idea by constraining their geometry using the motion of S2 star and the reconstructed shadow images. In particular, we consider three WH models, including WHs in Einstein theory, brane-world gravity, and Einstein-Dirac-Maxwell theory. To this end, we have constrained the WH throat using the motion of S2 star and shown that the flare out condition is satisfied. We also consider the accretion of infalling gas model and study the accretion rate and the intensity of the electromagnetic radiation as well as the shadow images.

Equatorial and polar quasinormal modes and quasiperiodic oscillations of quantum deformed Kerr black hole

In this paper we focus on the relation between quasinormal modes (QNMs) and a rotating black hole shadows. As a specific example, we consider the quantum deformed Kerr black hole obtained via Newman--Janis--Azreg-A\"ınou algorithm. In particular, using the geometric-optics correspondence between the parameters of a QNMs and the conserved quantities along geodesics, we show that, in the eikonal limit, the real part of QNMs is related to the Keplerian frequency for equatorial orbits. To this end, we explore the typical shadow radius for the viewing angles, $θ_0=π/2$, and obtained an interesting relation in the case of viewing angle $θ_0=0$ (or equivalently $θ_0=π$). Furthermore we have computed the corresponding equatorial and polar modes and the thermodynamical stability of the quantum deformed Kerr black hole. We also investigate other astrophysical applications such as the quasiperiodic oscillations and the motion of S2 star to constrain the quantum deforming parameter.

Theory and phenomenology of a four dimensional string-corrected black hole

We construct an effective four dimensional string-corrected black hole (4D SCBH) by rescaling the string coupling parameter in a $D$-dimensional Callan-Myers-Perry black hole. From the theoretical point of view, the most interesting findings are that the string corrections coincide with the so-called generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) corrections to black hole solutions, Bekenstein-Hawking entropy acquires logarithmic corrections, and that there exists a critical value of the coupling parameter for which the black hole temperature vanishes. We also find that, due to the string corrections the nature of the central singularity may be altered from spacelike to timelike singularity. In addition, we study the possibility of testing such a black hole with astrophysical observations. Since the dilaton field does not decouple from the metric it is not a priori clear that the resulting 4D SCBH offers only small corrections to the Schwarzschild black hole. We used motion of the S2 star around the black hole at the center of our galaxy to constrain the parameters (the string coupling parameter and ADM mass) of the 4D SCBH. To test the weak gravity regime we calculate the deflection angle in this geometry and apply it to gravitational lensing. To test the strong field regime, we calculate the black hole shadow radius. While we find that the observables change as we change the string coupling parameter, the magnitude of the change is too small to distinguish it from the Schwarzschild black hole. With the current precision, to the leading order terms, the 4D SCBH cannot be distinguished from the Schwarzschild black hole.

Quasiperiodic Oscillations, Quasinormal Modes and Shadows of Bardeen-Kiselev Black Holes

In this article, we study the particle dynamics around a static and spherically symmetric Bardeen-Kiselev black hole (BK BH) which is a solution of the Einstein-non-linear Maxwell field equations along with a quintessential field. We discuss its essential geometrical properties such as scalar invariants and size of innermost stable circular orbits. Dynamics of test particles around the BH is also studied. Moreover, we also computed the fundamental frequencies of a test particle orbiting the BH in a slightly perturbed orbit. Further, the degeneracy relations between the spin of rotating Kerr BH and magnetic charge of the BK BH at the values of the quintessential parameter $ω_q=-1/3$ and in terms of the same values of innermost stable circular orbits (ISCOs) radius, energy efficiency, twin-peaks quasiperiodic oscillations (QPOs) frequencies and impact parameter for photon are also discussed in detail. Finally, we have investigated the relationship between the shadow radius and the real part of the quasinormal mode (QNM) frequency.

Thin accretion disk in the Simpson-Visser black-bounce and wormhole spacetimes

We compare the optical appearance of a thin accretion disk in the Simpson-Visser spacetime to the Schwarzschild black hole case in this paper. We calculate and illustrate the red-shift and observed flux distributions as viewed by distant observers at various inclination angles. Simpson-Visser family of metrics create Novikov-Thorne (NT) accretion disks images that nearly look like a Schwarzschild black hole's NT accretion disk. We have studied also the embedding diagram, the electromagnetic properties of the accretion disk such as the temperature and the radiation flux of the energy by the accretion disk and the accretion efficiency. Compared to the Schwarzschild black hole, we find that the temperature, radiation flux of the energy, and the luminosity of the accretion disk increase by increasing the regularization parameter $'l'$. We conclude that, based on astrophysical observational signatures in the properties of the electromagnetic spectrum, we can distinguish the wormhole geometries from the regular black holes (black-bounce) and the Schwarzschild black hole.

Constraints on Barrow entropy from M87* and S2 star observations

We use data from M87* central black hole shadow, as well as from the S2 star observations, in order to extract constraints on Barrow entropy. The latter is a modified entropy arising from quantum-gravitational effects on the black hole horizon, quantified by the new parameter $Δ$. Such a change in entropy leads to a change in temperature, as well as to the properties of the black hole and its shadow. We investigate the photon sphere and the shadow of a black hole with Barrow entropy, and assuming a simple model for infalling and radiating gas we estimate the corresponding intensity. Furthermore, we use the radius in order to extract the real part of the quasinormal modes, and for completeness we investigate the spherical accretion of matter onto the black hole, focusing on isothermal and polytropic test fluids. We extract the allowed parameter region, and by applying a Monte-Carlo-Markov Chains analysis we find that $ Δ\simeq 0.0036^{+0.0792}_{-0.0145}$. Hence, our results place the upper bound $Δ\lesssim0.0828$ at 1$σ$, a constraint that is less strong than the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis one, but significantly stronger than the late-time cosmological constraints.

Shadow and deflection angle of charged rotating black hole surrounded by perfect fluid dark matter

We analysed the shadow cast by charged rotating black hole (BH) in presence of perfect fluid dark matter (PFDM). We studied the null geodesic equations and obtained the shadow of the charged rotating BH to see the effects of PFDM parameter $γ$, charge $Q$ and rotation parameter $a$, and it is noticed that the size as well as the shape of BH shadow is affected due to PFDM parameter, charge and rotation parameter. Thus, it is seen that the presence of dark matter around a BH affects its spacetime. We also investigated the influence of all the parameters (PFDM parameter $γ$, BHs charge $Q$ and rotational parameter $a$) on effective potential, energy emission by graphical representation, and compare all the results with the non rotating case in usual general relativity. To this end, we have also explored the effect of PFDM on the deflection angle and the size of Einstein rings.

Correspondence between quasinormal modes and the shadow radius in a wormhole spacetime

In this paper we study the correspondence between the real part of quasinormal modes (QNMs) and the shadow radius in a wormhole spacetime. Firstly we consider the above correspondence in a static and spherically symmetric wormhole spacetime and then explore this correspondence numerically by considering different wormhole models having specific redshift functions. To this end, we generalize this correspondence to the rotation wormhole spacetime and calculate the typical shadow radius of the rotating wormhole when viewed from the equatorial plane. We argue that due to the rotation and depending on the specific model, the typical shadow radius can increase or decrease and a reflecting point exists. Finally, we discuss whether a wormhole can mimic the black hole due to it's shadow. In the light of the EHT data, we find the upper and lower limits of the wormhole throat radius in the galactic center M87.

Accretion of matter onto black holes in massive gravity with Lorentz symmetry breaking

In this paper we study the accretion of matter onto the black holes and the shadow images obtained by an infalling accretion flow of gas in a theory of massive gravity (MG) with a spontaneously breaking Lorentz symmetry. This black hole solution is characterized by mass $M$, scalar charge $S$ and the parameter $λ$. In order to extract the astrophysical results of our analyses, firstly, we have assumed a specific range for the parameter $λ$ to constrain the scalar charge $S$ using the EHT result. To this end, we have studied the effect of the scalar charge on the intensity of the electromagnetic radiation from the black hole. Moreover, we investigate the behavior of polytropic as well as the isothermal fluid flow onto massive gravity black hole and notice that accretion starts from supersonic/subsonic flow, passes through the critical point using particular model parameter and ends near the horizon. We also analyzed the mass accretion rate in the presence of various fluids which indicates important signatures. We also elaborate on the possibility to analyze the phase transition and the stability of the black hole using the shadow formalism.

Axion-plasmon or magnetized plasma effect on an observable shadow and gravitational lensing of a Schwarzschild black hole

In this paper, we study the influence of the axion-plasmon, as proposed in (Phys. Rev. Lett. 120, 181803 (2018)) on the optical properties of the Schwarzschild black hole. Our aim is to provide a test to detect the effects of a fixed axion background using black holes. To accomplish our goal, we explore the effect of the axion-plasmon coupling on the motion of photons around the Schwarzschild black hole and check the possibility of observing those effects upon the black hole shadow, the gravitational deflection angle, Einstein rings and shadow images obtained by radially infalling gas on a black hole within a plasma medium. We find that these quantities are indeed affected by the axion-plasmon coupling parameters which consequently generalize some of the well-known results in the literature. It is shown that the size of the black hole shadow decreases with increasing axion-plasmon if observed from sufficiently large distance.

Modelling the Sgr A* Black Hole Immersed in a Dark Matter Spike

In this paper, we investigate the effects of a dark matter (DM) spike on the neighborhood of Sgr A*, the black hole (BH) in the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Our main goal is to investigate whether current and future astronomical observations of Sgr A* could detect the presence of such a DM spike. At first, we construct the spacetime metric around a static and spherically symmetric BH with a DM spike, and later this solution is generalized for a rotating BH using the Newman-Janis-Azreg Aïnou algorithm. For the static BH metric, we use the data of the S2 star orbiting the Sgr A* to determine and analyze the constraints on the two free parameters characterizing the density and the innermost boundary of the DM halo surrounding the BH. Furthermore, by making use of the available observational data for the DM spike density $ρ_\text{sp}$ and the DM spike radius $R_\text{sp}$ in the Milky Way galaxy, we consider a geometrically-thick accretion disk model around the Sgr A* BH and demonstrate that the effect of DM distribution on the shadow radius and the image of the BH is considerably weak for realistic DM densities, becoming significant only when the DM density is of the order $ρ_\text{sp} \sim (10^{-19}-10^{-20})$ g/cm$^3$ near the BH. We further analyze the possibility of observing this effect with radio interferometry, simulating observations with an EHT--like array, and find that it is unlikely to be detectable in the near future.

Imprints of Dark Matter on Black Hole Shadows using Spherical Accretions

We study the possibility of identifying dark matter in the galactic center from the physical properties of the electromagnetic radiation emitted from a optical-thin disk region around a static and spherically symmetric black hole. In particular, we consider two specific models for the optical-thin disk region: a gas at rest and a gas in a radial free fall. Due to the effect of dark matter on the spacetime geometry, we find that the dark matter can increase or decrease the intensity of the electromagnetic flux radiation depending on the dark matter model. To this end, we analyze two simple dark matter models having different mass functions $\mathcal{M}(r)$, with a matter mass $M$, thickness $Δr_s$ along with a dark matter core radius surrounding the black hole. In addition to that, we explore the scenario of a perfect fluid dark matter surrounding the black hole. We show that in order to have significant effect of dark matter on the intensity of the electromagnetic flux radiation, a high energy density of dark matter near the black hole is needed. We also find that the surrounding dark matter distribution plays a key role on the shadow radius and the intensity of the electromagnetic flux radiation, respectively. Finally, we have used the relation between the shadow radius and the quasinormal modes (QNMs) to compute the real part of QNM frequencies.

Shadow and Quasinormal Modes of a Rotating Loop Quantum Black Hole

In this paper, we construct an effective rotating loop quantum black hole (LQBH) solution, starting from the spherical symmetric LQBH by applying the Newman-Janis algorithm modified by Azreg-Aïnou's non-complexification procedure, and study the effects of loop quantum gravity { (LQG) on its shadow}. Given the rotating {LQBH}, we discuss its horizon, ergosurface, and regularity {as} $r \to 0$. Depending on the values of the specific angular momentum $a$ and the polymeric function $P$ arising from {LQG}, we {find} that the rotating solution we obtained can represent a regular black hole, a regular extreme black hole, or a regular spacetime {without horizon (a non-black-hole solution)}. We also {study} the effects of {LQG} and rotation, and {show} that, in addition to the specific angular momentum, the polymeric function {also} causes deformations in the size and shape of the black hole shadow. Interestingly, for a given value of $a$ and inclination angle $θ_0$, the apparent size of the shadow monotonically decreases, and the shadow gets more distorted with increasing $P$. We also {consider the effects of $P$ on the deviations from the circularity of the shadow, and find} that the deviation from circularity increases with increasing $P$ for fixed values of $a$ and $θ_0$. Additionally, we explore the observational implications of $P$ in comparison with the latest Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observation of the supermassive black hole, M$87$. The connection between the shadow radius and quasinormal modes in the eikonal limit as well as {the} deflection of massive particles are also considered.

Constraining the Generalized Uncertainty Principle Through Black Hole Shadow and Quasiperiodic Oscillations

In this paper we study the effect of the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) on the shadow of GUP-modified Kerr black hole and the correspondence between the shadow radius and the real part of the quasinormal modes (QNMs). We find that the shadow curvature radius of the GUP-modfied Kerr black hole is bigger compared to the Kerr vacuum solution and increases linearly monotonically with the increase of the GUP parameter. We then investigate the characteristic points of intrinsic curvature of the shadow from a topological point of view to calculate the the angular size for these curvature radii of the shadow. To this end, we have used the EHT data for the M87* black hole to constrain the upper limits of the GUP parameter red and our result is $β<10^{95}$. Finally, we have explored the connection between the shadow radius and the scalar/electromagnetic/gravitational QNMs. The GUP-modified Kerr black hole is also used to provide perfect curve fitting of the particle oscillation upper and lower frequencies to the observed frequencies for three microquasars and to restrict the values of the correction parameter in the metric of the modified black hole to very reasonable bound $β<10^{77}$.

Black Hole Shadows in Verlinde's Emergent Gravity

We study the effect of baryonic matter and apparent dark matter on black hole shadow in Verlinde's Emergent Gravity. To do so, we consider different baryonic mass profiles and an optically-thin disk region described by a gas in a radial free fall around the black hole. Assuming that most of the baryonic matter in the galaxy is located near the galactic center surrounding a supermassive black hole, we use two models of power law mass profile for the baryonic matter to study the effect of apparent dark matter on the shadow and the corresponding intensity. We find that the effect of the surrounding matter on the shadow size using observational values is small, however, it becomes significant when the surrounding baryonic matter increases. To this end, we show that the effect of simple power law function in the limit of constant baryonic mass in Verlinde's theory implies an apparent dark matter effect which is similar to the standard gravity having an isothermal dark matter profile. We also find the intensity of the electromagnetic flux radiation depending on the surrounding mass.

Determining the Topology and Deflection Angle of Ringholes via Gauss-Bonnet Theorem

In this letter, we use a recent wormhole solution known as a ringhole [Gonzalez-Diaz, Phys.\ Rev.\ D {\bf 54}, 6122, 1996] to determine the surface topology and the deflection angle of light in the weak limit approximation using the Gauss-Bonnet theorem (GBT). We apply the GBT and show that the surface topology at the wormhole throat is indeed a torus by computing the Euler characteristic number. As a special case of the ringhole solution, one can find the Ellis wormhole which has the surface topology of a 2-sphere at the wormhole throat. The most interesting results of this paper concerns the problem of gravitational deflection of light in the spacetime of a ringhole geometry by applying the GBT to the optical ringhole geometry. It is shown that, the deflection angle of light depends entirely on the geometric structure of the ringhole geometry encoded by the parameters $b_0$ and $a$, being the ringhole throat radius and the radius of the circumference generated by the circular axis of the torus, respectively. As special cases of our general result, the deflection angle by Ellis wormhole is obtained. Finally, we work out the problem of deflection of relativistic massive particles and show that the deflection angle remains unaltered by the speed of the particles.
