abstract

Recently there has been a surge of interest in regularizing, a $ D \to 4 $ limit of, the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) gravity, and the resulting regularized $4D$ EGB gravity has nontrivial dynamics. The theory admits spherically symmetric black holes generalizing the Schwarzschild black holes. We consider the rotating black hole in regularized $4D$ EGB gravity and discuss their horizon properties and shadow cast. The effects of the GB coupling parameter on the shape and size of shadows are investigated in the context of recent M87* observations from the EHT. Interestingly, for a given spin parameter, the apparent size of the shadow decreases and gets more distorted due to the GB coupling parameter. We find that within the finite parameter space, e.g. for $a=0.1M$, $\alpha\leq 0.00394M^2$, and within the current observational uncertainties, the rotating black holes of the $4D$ EGB gravity are consistent with the inferred features of M87* black hole shadow.

    gr-qc 2026-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

  3. Shadow of the generalized Vaidya black hole

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    For self-similar Husain black holes, the barotropic index α controls the shadow: α<1/2 enlarges it, α>1/2 shrinks it, with a quasistatic influx criterion for the time-dependent case.

  4. Image of a quantum-corrected black hole without Cauchy horizons illuminated by a static thin accretion disk

    gr-qc 2025-10 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    For the no-Cauchy-horizon quantum-corrected metric, a larger quantum parameter produces larger horizon, photon sphere, ISCO, and shadow, with narrower and tighter-spaced photon and lensed rings.

  5. Thermodynamics and Shadows of Kerr black holes endowed with a global monopole charge

    gr-qc 2025-06 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    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.
