We investigate retrolensing by two photon spheres in a novel black-bounce spacetime suggested by Lobo et al. which can correspond to a Schwarzschild black hole, a regular black hole, and a traversable wormhole including an Ellis-Bronnikov wormhole. In a case, the wormhole has a throat which acts as a photon sphere and it has another photon sphere outside of the throat. With the sun as a light source, an observer, and the wormhole are lined up in this order, sunlight reflected slightly outside of the throat and barely outside and inside of the outer photon sphere can reach the observer. We show that the light rays reflected by the outer photon sphere are dominant in retrolensing light curves in the case.

  1. Strong field gravitational lensing of particles by a black-bounce-Schwarzschild black hole

    gr-qc 2026-02 accept novelty 5.0

    For a black-bounce-Schwarzschild black hole, the paper derives the strong-deflection lensing observables for massive particles and quantifies how they differ from photon lensing.

  2. Three dimensional black bounces in $f(R)$ gravity

    gr-qc 2026-01 conditional novelty 5.0

    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.

  3. Photon Spheres and shadow of modified black-hole entropies

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Modified black hole entropies alter photon sphere radii and shadow sizes, with parameters constrained by Event Horizon Telescope observations of Sgr A*.

  4. Photon Spheres and shadow of modified black-hole entropies

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Corrected black hole entropies produce distinct shifts in photon sphere radius and shadow size that are constrained by Event Horizon Telescope data on Sagittarius A*.

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Entropy corrections to black holes produce modified metrics whose photon-sphere and shadow sizes can be constrained by Sgr A* observations.
