Abstract

In this work, we consider a static wormhole in Bopp-Podolsky electrodynamics and convert it into its rotating counterpart by reducing it into Morris-Thorne form. We further study the null geodesics and effective potential along with the shadows for inner and outer unstable orbits for specific choices of parameters. It is found that for some cases smooth shadow curves are formed and for a few cases, the shadows formed are cuspy. All parameters have a significant impact on the shadows except for the parameter bb when either aa or QQ are kept small. We also analyze the gravitational lensing in the strong regime, considering that the observer and the source are on opposite sides of the throat. For this situation, we explore in detail the behavior of the deflection angle, Einstein rings and lensing observables.
