A conformal isothermal reformulation of optical geometry converts the Gauss-Bonnet area term for weak deflection into boundary integrals evaluated on a flat reference ray, reproducing known finite-distance results for Schwarzschild, Reissner-Nordström, and Kottler spacetimes.

abstract
In this work, we calculate the deflection angle of light in a spacetime that interpolates between regular black holes and traversable wormholes, depending on the free parameter of the metric. Afterwards, this angular deflection is substituted into the lens equations which allows to obtain physically measurable results, such as the position of the relativistic images and the magnifications.

Gravitational tension screening, acting as an analogue of Schwinger corrections, generates regular black bounce spacetimes for spherical, planar, and hyperbolic sections without ad hoc cores.
Black bounce geometries exist in 2+1D f(R) gravity with scalar-nonlinear electrodynamics matter, including vanishing scalar curvature solutions whose viability is checked via scalaron mass and energy conditions.
Tidal forces in the Simpson-Visser spacetime produce Roche radii for stars that depend on observer type and regularization, with some disruptions occurring outside the event horizon for supermassive black holes.
Black bounce spacetimes with larger throat parameter α produce enhanced periastron precession, light deflection, and a larger critical impact parameter in the wormhole regime, offering potential observational signatures.
