Horizon-scale images of black holes (BHs) and their shadows have opened an unprecedented window onto tests gravity fundamental physics in the strong-field regime. We consider a wide range well-motivated deviations from classical General Relativity (GR) BH solutions, constrain them using Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observations Sagittarius A$^*$ (Sgr A$^*$), connecting size bright ring emission to that underlying shadow exploiting high-precision measurements Sgr A$^*$'s mass-to-distance...

Recently, a non-trivial $4D$ Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) theory of gravity, by rescaling the GB coupling parameter as $\alpha/(D-4)$, was formulated in \cite{Glavan:2019inb}, which bypasses Lovelock's theorem and avoids Ostrogradsky instability. The admits static spherically symmetric black hole, unlike $5D$ EGB or general relativity counterpart, can have both Cauchy event horizons. We generalize previous work, on gravitational lensing Schwarzschild strong weak deflection limits to holes...

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), a global submillimeter wavelength very long baseline interferometry array, unveiled event-horizon-scale images of the supermassive black hole M87* as an asymmetric bright emission ring with diameter $ 42 \pm 3\; \mu$as, and it is consistent shadow Kerr general relativity.

The nonminimal coupling of the nonzero vacuum expectation value self-interacting antisymmetric Kalb-Ramond field with gravity leads to a power-law hairy black hole having parameter $s$, which encompasses Reissner-Nordstrom ($s=1$). We obtain axially symmetric counterpart this solution, namely, rotating hole, encompasses, as special cases, Kerr ($s=0$) and Kerr-Newman ($s=1$) holes. Interestingly, for set parameters ($M$, $a$, $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Gamma}}$), there exists an extremal...

The recently obtained hairy Kerr black holes, due to additional sources or surrounding fluid, like dark matter, with conserved energy-momentum tensor, have a deviation $\alpha$ and primary hair $l_0$, apart from rotation parameter $a$ mass $M$.

Simpson-Visser (SV) spacetimes are the simplest globally regular modifications of Schwarzschild, Reissner-Nordsr\"om and other black hole solutions general relativity. They smoothly interpolate between these holes traversable wormholes. After a brief presentation Schwarzschild-like Reissner-Nordsr\"om-like SV geometries, including their Carter-Penrose diagrams, we show that any static, spherically symmetric metric can be obtained as an exact solution to Einstein field equations sourced by...

We discuss the horizon properties, shadow cast, and weak gravitational lensing of charged rotating regular black holes, which in addition to mass ($M$) rotation parameter ($a$) have an electric charge ($Q$) magnetic ($g$). The considered holes are generalization Kerr ($Q=g=0$) Kerr-Newman ($g=0$) holes. Interestingly, for a given set, apparent size monotonically decreases gets more distorted with increasing $Q$. put constraints on hole parameters aid recent M87* observation. conserved...

Abstract In recent times there is a surge of interest in constructing Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet (EGB) gravity, the limit D → 4, -dimensional EGB gravity. Interestingly, static spherically symmetric solutions various proposed 4 regularized gravities coincide, and incidentally some other theories also admit same solution. We prove theorem that characterizes large family nonstatic or radiating to representing, general, type II fluid. An extension theorem, given without proof as being similar...

Abstract A mathematically consistent rotating black hole model in loop quantum gravity (LQG) is yet lacking. The scarcity of solutions LQG substantially hampers the development testing from observations, e.g., Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observations. EHT observation revealed event horizon-scale images supermassive holes Sgr A* and M87*. results are with shadow a Kerr general relativity. We present LQG-motivated (LMRBH) spacetimes, which regular everywhere asymptotically encompass as...

Loop quantum gravity inspired partial polymer quantization in four-dimensional spacetime leads to a globally regular black hole with single horizon. The polymerized metric is characterized by the minimum length parameter $k$, and mimics Schwarzschild weak-field limit. We present an analytic numerical investigation of strong gravitational lensing shadow morphology determine observational impacts effects. Interestingly, light deflection angle, angular separation between outermost relativistic...

The lack of rotating black holes, typically found in nature, hinders testing modified gravity from astrophysical observations. We present the axially symmetric counterpart an existing spherical hairy hole Horndeski having additional deviation parameter $Q$, which encompasses Kerr as a particular case ($Q=0$). investigate effect $Q$ on holes' geometry and analytically deduce gravitational deflection angle light weak-field limit.

Rotating black hole solutions in theories of modified gravity are important as they offer an arena to test these through astrophysical observation. The non-rotating can be hardly tested since the spin is very any process. We present rotating counterpart a recently obtained spherically symmetric exact solution surrounded by perfect fluid context Rastall theory, viz, that generalize Kerr–Newman solution. In turn, we analyze specific cases holes matter like dust and quintessence fields....

In the Einstein-Maxwell theory with nonlinear electrodynamics (NED) fields, singularity problem in general relativity is potentially resolved, leading to regular black hole solutions. NED theories, photons follow null geodesics of an effective geometry that differs from spacetime itself. This raises important question: Do fields produce unique observational signatures electromagnetic spectrum can test holes and theories? We analyze shadows two NED-charged their horizonless ultracompact...
