We present a family of AdS2+1 asymptotically hairy black holes, within the context of Einstein's minimally coupled scalar field theory. We study the boundary conditions and construct the thermal superpotential. In the Euclidean section, we calculate the free energy and in the Lorentzian section, the Brown-York tensor, both regularized by two methods. Finally, we calculate the relevant thermodynamic quantities and analyze the different phases.

We study the motion of test particles and the propagation of light around neutral hairy black holes under the influence of a self-interacting real scalar field minimally coupled to gravity. It is highly relevant in the context of recent observations of the Event Horizon Telescope: The Shadow of the supermassive Black Hole and The Shadow and Mass of the Central Black Hole. The goal of the present work is to show that the time-like and null-like geodesics have an anomalous behaviour for a special range of parameters in the dense hair region, defined as Ω(x h ) ≤ r ≤ 2M G N /c 2 . When the geodesics are in the dense hair region, they lose their angular momenta and enter the horizon.
