Traversable wormholes and light rings

SV Xavier, CAR Herdeiro, LCB Crispino - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
Ultracompact objects (UCOs) are horizonless compact objects that present light rings (LRs):
circular photon orbits. As a result, they could be black hole mimickers. Some years ago …

Topological classes of higher-dimensional black holes in massive gravity

D Chen, Y He, J Tao - The European Physical Journal C, 2023 - Springer
