Measuring Spin from Relative Photon-ring Sizes

Avery E. Broderick et al.

Summary: The direct detection of a bright, ring-like structure in horizon-resolving images of M87* by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) validates general relativity. By observing multiple rings, researchers can break degeneracy and measure the mass and spin of the black hole independently. These findings provide valuable tests for general relativity.

Parameterizations of black-hole spacetimes beyond circularity

Heloise Delaporte et al.

Summary: We discuss the parameterizations of black-hole spacetimes in and beyond general relativity, considering their symmetry constraints. A new parameterization method is proposed that includes non-circular spacetimes and horizon-penetrating coordinates. We show how existing parameterizations, which assume circularity and a hidden constant of motion, are included in the new method. Our investigation is motivated by the finding that regular, spinning black-hole spacetimes can have non-circular deviations, resulting in cusps, a dent, and an asymmetry in the photon rings surrounding the black-hole shadow. Furthermore, we explore a new class of non-circular deviations that promote the spin parameter to a function, and find indications that regularity cannot be achieved in this setting.

Testing gravity with black hole shadow subrings

Dimitry Ayzenberg

Summary: The black hole shadow is a new method for studying black holes and understanding gravity. This paper presents one of the first studies of the black hole shadow of non-Kerr black holes when illuminated by an accretion disk. The results suggest that current and future ground-based telescopes may have difficulty placing strong constraints on departures from the Kerr spacetime, but space-based interferometers may provide comparable or better precision for testing the nature of black holes and general relativity.

Toward Determining the Number of Observable Supermassive Black Hole Shadows

Dominic W. Pesce et al.

Summary: This study presents estimates for detecting shadow-resolved supermassive black hole systems using radio interferometers, and demonstrates the potential for accessing a large population of SMBH shadows with improvements in sensitivity. They also predict that next-generation Event Horizon Telescope observing at 345 GHz could access three times as many sources as the current EHT.

Image features of spinning regular black holes based on a locality principle

Astrid Eichhorn et al.

Summary: Researchers establish a link between theoretical developments and observational features of black holes by constructing a family of spinning, regular black-hole spacetimes and analyzing their shadow images. They identify characteristic image features linked to regularity and the locality principle, and suggest these features as universal in distinct classes of regular black holes based on different sets of construction principles for the corresponding spacetimes.

Photon Spheres, ISCOs, and OSCOs: Astrophysical Observables for Regular Black Holes with Asymptotically Minkowski Cores

Thomas Berry et al.

Summary: Researchers have proposed modified spacetimes to mimic the characteristics of black holes without singularities. Recent advances in near-horizon astronomy allow for observational distinctions between black holes and potential mimickers. Physically observable quantities for a recently proposed regular black hole show complex relationships between horizons, photon spheres, and stable orbits, providing rich astrophysical phenomenology.

Fuzzball Shadows: Emergent Horizons from Microstructure

Fabio Bacchini et al.

Summary: By imaging the shadows of horizonless fuzzball geometries in four-dimensional string theory, researchers have found that the microstructure of these fuzzballs can trap light rays near their would-be horizons. This phenomenon can be used to distinguish between fuzzballs near the scaling limit, which exhibit shadow similar to black holes without the paradoxes of event horizons, and alternative models of black compact objects based on observations of shadow size and residual glow.

Kazunori Akiyama et al.

Summary: In April 2017, the Event Horizon Telescope observed the near-horizon region around the supermassive black hole at the core of the M87 galaxy, revealing a compact asymmetric ring-like structure originating from synchrotron emission. Only a part of the ring shows significant polarization, with the maximum linear polarization fraction located in the southwest part of the ring.

Black hole inner horizon evaporation in semiclassical gravity

Carlos Barcelo et al.

Summary: The study examines the backreaction of a quantum field on a spherically symmetric black hole geometry with an inner horizon, finding that the inner horizon tends to evaporate outward faster than the outer horizon evaporates inward. This suggests a revised picture of semiclassical evaporation where the dominant dynamical effect comes from the inner horizon.

Hearts of Darkness: The inside out probing of black holes

Raul Carballo-Rubio et al.

Summary: Classical black holes can shield singularities in general relativity, but quantum black holes may reveal their inner core. It is usually assumed that quantum gravity effects are limited to black hole interiors, but this essay argues for strong correlations between interior and exterior physics in nonsingular black holes, suggesting that astronomical tests could provide valuable insights into unexplored black hole interiors.

Summary: This paper investigates the true nature of black holes by constructing regular black-hole spacetimes based on new-physics models, characterizing them by curvature invariants, and analyzing features such as the shadow shape and photon rings. Simulated images of the regular spinning black hole are generated to test the visibility of characteristic features in the intensity map, providing insights into the new-physics effects.

Summary: This study presents the first numerically stable nonlinear evolution for the leading-order gravitational effective field theory in the spherically-symmetric sector, confirming the well posedness of the respective initial-value problem through evolving randomly perturbed flat-space and black-hole initial data. It serves as a proof-of-principle for the possibility of stable numerical evolution in the presence of higher derivatives.

Summary: Gravitational waves are used to test general relativity in strong-field regimes, with evaluations of data consistency showing no evidence for new physics beyond general relativity. Modifying waveform parameters and constraints on Lorentz-violating coefficients have improved past limitations, while analysis of merger remnants and polarization confirms agreement with theoretical predictions.

Constraints on black-hole charges with the 2017 EHT observations of M87*

Prashant Kocherlakota et al.

Summary: Recent measurements by the Event Horizon Telescope have improved our understanding of strong gravity near supermassive compact objects. By using the shadow size of M87*, constraints on the physical charges of various types of nonrotating or rotating black holes can be inferred, helping rule out certain types of highly charged black holes. Additionally, considering black holes with two physical and independent charges allows for the exclusion of significant regions in the parameter space for specific types of black holes.

Can different black holes cast the same shadow?

Haroldo C. D. Lima Junior et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the possibility of two different black holes projecting exactly the same shadow, presenting the necessary and sufficient conditions for a static black hole to have the same shadow as Schwarzschild. It categorizes shadow-degenerate geometries into two classes and provides examples in both static and axi-symmetric cases. The examples demonstrate that nonisometric black hole spacetimes can cast the same shadow, although the lensing is generally different.
