Abstract

In this paper, we study the shadow and images of the accretion disk of Kerr-Newman (KN) black hole (BH) in modified gravity (MOG) theory by using backward ray-tracing method. And, the influence of spin parameter (aa), charge (QQ), and MOG parameter (α\alpha) on the observed features of BHs are carefully addressed. Interestingly, as α\alpha increases, the flat edge of the BH's shadow gradually becomes more rounded, the size of shadow enlarges, and the deviation rate (δs\delta s) correspondingly decreases. By tracing the photon around BH, we observe that the trajectory of photon exhibits distortion behavior, i.e., the formation of two "tails" near the Einstein ring, which elongate as aa increases. For the accretion disk, it shows that the inner shadow expands with α\alpha, while decreases with QQ. The increase of α\alpha exhibits an increasing effect on redshift. At the same parameter level, α\alpha has a more obvious effect on inner shadow and image of BH by comparing with that of QQ. Our study implies that both α\alpha and QQ have relatively significant effects on the image of the KN-MOG BH with the thin disk accretion, but the influence of α\alpha is much greater. So, this indicates that α\alpha plays a dominant role in this spacetime.
