Understanding photon sphere and black hole shadow in dynamically evolving spacetimes

AK Mishra, S Chakraborty, S Sarkar - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
We have derived the differential equation governing the evolution of the photon sphere for
dynamical black hole spacetimes with or without spherical symmetry. Numerical solution of …

Thermodynamic topology and photon spheres in the hyperscaling violating black holes

J Sadeghi, MAS Afshar, SN Gashti, MR Alipour - Astroparticle Physics, 2024 - Elsevier
It was shown that a standard ring of light can be imagined outside the event horizon for
stationary rotating four-dimensional black holes with axial symmetry using the topological …

Uniqueness of the static spacetimes with a photon sphere in Einstein-scalar field theory

S Yazadjiev - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
In the present paper we prove a uniqueness theorem for the static and asymptotically flat
solutions to the Einstein-scalar field equations which possess a photon sphere. We show …

Lux in obscuro: photon orbits of extremal black holes revisited

FS Khoo, YC Ong - Classical and quantum gravity, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
It has been shown in the literature that the event horizon of an asymptotically flat extremal
Reissner–Nordström black hole is also a stable photon sphere. We further clarify this …

Photon spheres in Einstein and Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theories and circular null geodesics in axially-symmetric spacetimes

E Gallo, JR Villanueva - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
In this article we extend a recent theorem proven by Hod [Upper bound on the radii of black-
hole photon spheres, Phys. Lett. B 727, 345 (2013)] to n-dimensional Einstein and Einstein …

Uniqueness of the static Einstein–Maxwell spacetimes with a photon sphere

S Yazadjiev, B Lazov - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
We consider the problem of uniqueness of static and asymptotically flat Einstein–Maxwell
spacetimes with a photon sphere P 3. We are using a naturally modified definition of a …

Classification of the static and asymptotically flat Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton spacetimes with a photon sphere

S Yazadjiev, B Lazov - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
We consider the problem for the classification of static and asymptotically flat Einstein-
Maxwell-dilaton spacetimes with a photon sphere. It is first proven that the photon spheres in …

Electromagnetic perturbations in new brane world scenarios

C Molina, AB Pavan, TE Medina Torrejón - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
In this work, we consider electromagnetic dynamics in Randall-Sundrum branes. It is derived
from a family of four-dimensional spacetimes compatible with Randall-Sundrum brane …

Dynamical analysis of null geodesics in brane-world spacetimes

WS Klën, C Molina - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
In this work, we present an extensive dynamical analysis of the null geodesics in the
spacetimes proposed by Casadio, Fabbri, and Mazzacurati (CFM), which model black holes …

Maxwell field with Torsion

R Fresneda, MC Baldiotti, TS Pereira - Brazilian Journal of Physics, 2015 - Springer
We propose a gauge-invariant model of propagating torsion which couples to the Maxwell
field and to charged particles. As a result, we have an Abelian gauge-invariant action …
