We study the local shadow of the Schwarzschild black hole with a quadrupole distortion and the influence of the external gravitational field on the photon dynamics. The external matter sources modify the light ring structure and lead to the…
Due to its large number of symmetries the Schwarzschild Black Hole can be described by a specific two-dimensional dilaton gravity model. After reviewing classical, semi-classical and quantum properties and a brief discussion of virtual…
We discuss properties of a 4-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole in a spacetime where one of the spatial dimensions is compactified. As a result of the compactification the event horizon of the black hole is distorted. We use Weyl…
Can the observation of the "shadow" allow us to distinguish a black hole from a more exotic compact object? We study the motion of photons in a class of vacuum static axially-symmetric space-times that is continuously linked to the…
We consider a simple model of a black hole surrounded by a toroidal structure and experiencing deformation due to magnetic field and the tidal force. For this system we construct the shadows of Preston-Poisson black hole, apply it to…
A brief illustrative discussion of the shadows of black holes at local and cosmological distances is presented. Starting from definition of the term and discussion of recent observations, we then investigate shadows at large, cosmological…
A hairy Schwarzschild black hole describes the deformation of Schwarzschild black hole due to including additional sources. It is found that depending on the hairy parameters, the photons' configurations around this black hole can be…
We have studied the shadows of a Schwarzschild black hole under a special polar gravitational perturbation, which is a particular solution of Einstein equations expanded up to first order. It is shown that the black hole shadow changes…
The supertranslated black hole proposed by Hawking, Perry, and Strominger might provide a resolution to the information paradox, which is usually defined by a complicated space-time metric with even less space-time symmetries compared to…
We study the optical appearance of a de Sitter-Schwarzschild black hole and its distinguishability from a Schwarzschild black hole. By exploring various accretion models and emission profiles, we investigate the impact of different…
There is an exciting prospect of obtaining the shadow of astrophysical black holes (BHs) in the near future with the Event Horizon Telescope. As a matter of principle, this justifies asking how much one can learn about the BH horizon itself…
Due to the acceleration of the black hole, the circular orbits of the photons will deviate from the equatorial plane and the property of the black hole shadow will change. We find that the latitude of the circular orbit increases with the…
Motivated by recent work on rotating black hole shadow [Phys. Rev. D101, 084029 (2020)], we investigate the shadow behaviors of rotating Hayward-de Sitter black hole for static observers at a finite distance in terms of astronomical…
Motivated by the existence of black holes with various topologies in four-dimensional spacetimes with a negative cosmological constant, we study axisymmetric static solutions describing any large distortions of Schwarzschild-anti-de Sitter…
Gravitational waves emitted by distorted black holes, such as those arising from the coalescence of binary black holes, or a falling compact star into a supermassive black hole, carry not only information about the corresponding spacetime…
Black hole shadows and photon spheres offer valuable tools for investigating black hole properties. Recent observations by the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration have confirmed the existence of rotating black holes. Black hole parameters…
A black hole casts a shadow as an optical appearance because of its strong gravitational field. We study the shadow cast by the five-dimensional Myers-Perry black hole with equal rotation parameters. We demonstrate that the null geodesic…
To better understand the allowed range of black hole geometries, we study Weyl-distorted Schwarzschild solutions. They always contain trapped surfaces, a singularity and an isolated horizon and so should be understood to be (geometric)…
We analytically investigate the influence of a cosmic expansion on the shadow of the Schwarzschild black hole. We suppose that the expansion is driven by a cosmological constant only and use the Kottler (or Schwarzschild-deSitter) spacetime…
In the simulations of the multi-black holes and merging black holes a larger primary image and a secondary smaller image which looks like an eyebrow and the deformation of the shadows have been observed. However, this kind of eyebrow-like…
