A regular MOG black hole’s impact on shadows and gravitational weak lensing in the presence of a quintessence field

Abstract

We investigate the impact of the modified gravity (MOG) field and the quintessence scalar field on horizon evolution, black hole (BH) shadow and the weak gravitational lensing around a static spherically symmetric BH. We first begin to write the BH metric associated with the MOG parameter and quintessence scalar field. We then determine the BH shadow and obtain numerical solutions for the photon sphere and shadow radius. We show that the MOG ($\alpha$) and the quintessence ($c$) parameters have a significant impact on BH shadow and photon sphere. Based on the analysis, we further show that the combined effects of the MOG parameter and quintessential field can increase the values of BH shadow and photon sphere radii. We also obtain constraints on the BH parameters by applying the observational data of Sgr A$^{\star}$ and M87$^{\star}$. Finally, we consider the weak deflection angle of BH within the context of the Gauss-Bonnet theorem (GBT) and show that the combined effects of the MOG and quintessence parameters do make the value of the deflection angle grow, referring to remarkable property being in well agreement with the physical meaning of both parameters that can maintain the strong gravitational field in the surrounding environment of BH.
