Shadows of rotating five-dimensional charged EMCS black holes

Abstract

Higher dimensional theories admit astrophysical objects like supermassive black holes, which are rather different from standard ones, and their gravitational lensing features deviate from general relativity. It is well known that a black hole shadow is a dark region due to the falling geodesics of photons into the black hole and, if detected, a black hole shadow could be used to determine which theory of gravity is consistent with observations. Measurements of the shadow sizes around the black holes can help to evaluate various parameters of the black hole metric. We study the shapes of the shadow cast by the rotating five-dimensional charged Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons (EMCS) black holes, which is characterized by the four parameters, i.e., mass, two spins, and charge, in which the spin parameters are set equal. We integrate the null geodesic equations and derive an analytical formula for the shadow of the five-dimensional EMCS black hole, in turn, to show that size of black hole shadow is affected due to charge as well as spin. The shadow is a dark zone covered by a deformed circle, and the size of the shadow decreases with an increase in the charge q when compared with the five-dimensional Myers-Perry black hole. Interestingly, the distortion increases with charge q. The effect of these parameters on the shape and size of the naked singularity shadow of five-dimensional EMCS black hole is also discussed. * Electronic address:

Light rings of five-dimensional geometries

“…3 For the special BPS case Q = M (BMPV solution) they have been thoroughly explored in [34]. It is not in the interest of this work to study the geodesic structure of the more general CCLP geometries, which has been tackled in [35,36]. Finally, yellow lines host solutions that can be lifted to…”

Ergosphere, Photon Region Structure, and the Shadow of a Rotating Charged Weyl Black Hole

“…These methods were later developed and generalized widely (see [80][81][82][83][84][85]). Having these methods in hand, a large number of black hole spacetimes, including those with cosmological components, were given rigorous analytical calculations, simulations, numerical, and observational studies [86][87][88][89][90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98][99][100]. The black hole shadow is of great importance as it provides information about the light propagation in near-horizon regions.…”

Optical and thermodynamic properties of a rotating dyonic black hole spacetime in $${\mathcal {N}} = 2, U(1)^2$$ gauged supergravity

“…The study of phenomenon for BH shadow can provide the useful information about the various physical aspects of any given BH spacetime and the recent image from Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) [15][16][17][18][19][20] marks a significant mile stone in the study of BH physics. The mathematical aspect of the very phenomenon which has been developed over the year [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] can be studied with observed data which can further help to hone the mathematical models of the extraordinary astronomical objects like a BH. Based on such standpoints, we are motivated to study the motion of photons in ADS geometry to observe the effect of different charges on the path of the light along with the shadows and the relation for distance of closest approach with the magnetic charges (v), the gauge coupling constant (g) and NUT charge (N g ).…”
