Weak field deflection angle and analytical parameter estimation of the Lorentz-violating Bumblebee parameter through the black hole shadow using EHT data
Abstract
We explored how the Lorentz symmetry breaking parameter affects the Reissner-Nordst\"{o}m BH solution in the context of weak field deflection angle, and the black hole shadow. We aim to derive the general expression for the weak deflection angle using the non-asymptotic version of the Gauss-Bonnet theorem, and we presented a way to simplify the calculations under the assumption that the distance of the source and the receiver are the same. \textcolor{black}{Through the Solar System test, is constrained from around orders of magnitude to , implying challenging detection of through the deflection of light rays from the Sun.} We also studied the black hole shadow in an analytic way, where we applied the EHT results under the far approximation in obtaining an estimate expression for . Using the realistic values of the black hole mass and observer distance for Sgr. A* and M87*, it was shown that is satisfied, implying the relevance and potential promise of the spontaneous Lorentz symmetry breaking parameter's role on the shadow radius uncertainties as measured by the EHT. \textcolor{black}{We find constraints for to be negatively valued, where the upper and lower bounds are and , respectively.
