Abstract
In this paper, we study the motion of photons around a Kehagias-Sfetsos (KS) black hole and obtain constraints on IR modified Hoava gravity without cosmological constant (). An analytic formula for the light deflection angle is obtained. For a propagating photon, the deflection angle increases with large values of the Hoava gravity parameter . Under the UV limit , deflection angle reduces to the result of usual Schwarzschild case, . It is also found that with increasing scale of astronomical observation system the Hoava-Lifshitz gravity should satisfy with 12% precision for Earth system, with 17% precision for Jupiter system and with 0.17% precision for solar system.
