Geodesic analysis and black hole shadows on a general non-extremal rotating black hole in five-dimensional gauged supergravity

In this work, motivated by the fact that higher dimensional theories predict the existence of black holes which differ from their four dimensional counterpart, we analyse the geodesics and black hole shadow cast by a general non-extremal five dimensional black hole. The system under consideration corresponds to the Chong-Cvetic-Lu-Pope (Chong et al., 2005), which has the Myers-Perry black hole as a limit. (C) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
