abstract
The Event Horizon Telescope has recently provided the first image of the dark shadow around the supermassive black hole M87*. The observation of a highly circular shadow provides strong limits on deviations of M87*'s quadrupole moment from the Kerr value. We show that the absence of such a deviation can be used to constrain the physics of extra dimensions of spacetime. Focusing on the Randall-Sundrum AdS$_5$ brane-world scenario, we show that the observation of M87*'s dark shadow sets the limit $\ell \lesssim 170\,{\rm AU}$, where $\ell$ is the AdS$_5$ curvature radius. This limit is among the first quantitative constraints on exotic physics obtained from the extraordinary first ever image of the dark shadow of a black hole.

Evaporating cosmologically coupled black holes
If a black hole's mass grows with cosmic expansion, Hawking evaporation is slowed or reversed, weakening gamma-ray bounds on primordial black holes.

Spinning Particle Dynamics and Observational Redshift around an Asymptotically Flat Symmergent Black Hole
For a black hole in symmergent gravity, the sign of the boson-fermion imbalance determines whether particle and photon observables deviate from Schwarzschild smoothly (fermion-dominated) or in an oscillatory pattern (...

Influence of Perfect Fluid Dark Matter on Shadow Observables of Yang-Mills modified charged black holes
A rotating Yang-Mills charged black hole surrounded by perfect fluid dark matter is shown to have a smaller and more distorted shadow as the dark matter parameter increases, with EHT-derived bounds on the dark matter ...

Thermodynamics and Shadows of Kerr black holes endowed with a global monopole charge
The authors derive shadow and thermodynamic quantities for a Kerr-like metric with a global monopole term in Δ, and claim EHT observations constrain the monopole charge α.
