Abstract

We present the analysis how Ho\v{r}ava gravity and plasma influence the strong lensing phenomena around Kehagias-Sfetsos (KS) black holes. Using the semi-analytical Bozza method of strong lensing limit, we determine the multiple images, namely their separation S, and magnification R. We apply our calculations to the case of supermassive black hole having mass M=6.5×109MM=6.5\times 10^{9}\textrm{M}_\odot and being at distance d0=16.8Mpcd_0=16.8\textrm{Mpc} from observer corresponding to those observed in M87. We show that the sensitivity of image magnification, image separation, and shadow angular size on KS parameter ω\omega and plasma parameter kk are of order from 1%1\% to 10%10\% for RR and  16%~\,16\% for SS.
