It is well known that a hypothetical compact object that looks like an Einsteinian (Schwarzschild or Kerr) black hole everywhere except a small region near its surface should have the ringdown profile predicted by the Einstein theory at…
We revisit the shadows of rotating braneworld black holes in the Randall-Sundrum type II model, by considering not only the metric in the near region of the black hole but also the linearized metric in the far region where the observer…
We consider spherically symmetric and static charged black holes in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet-Maxwell gravities in general $D\ge 5$ dimensions and study their photon spheres and black hole shadows. We show that they all satisfy the sequence of…

In this paper, we study the shadow cast by two types of charged and slowly rotating black holes in Eisntein-aether theory of gravity. This two types of black holes are corresponding to two specific combinations of the coupling constants of…
We investigate the wave optics in spherically symmetric spacetimes: Schwarzschild black hole, spherical star with a perfect absorbing surface, and massless/massive Ellis wormholes. Assuming a point wave source, wave pattern and power…

We demonstrate that the location of a stable photon sphere (PS) in a compact object is not always an edge such as the inner boundary of a black hole shadow, whereas the location of an unstable PS is known to be the shadow edge notably in…

Advancements in the black hole shadow observations may allow us not only to investigate physics in the strong gravity regime, but also to use them in cosmological studies. In this paper, we propose to use the shadow of supermassive black…
