Viable wormhole solution in Bopp-Podolsky electrodynamics

Following a recent approach in which the gravitational field equations in curved spacetimes were presented in the Bopp--Podolsky electrodynamics, we obtained an approximate and spherically symmetric wormhole solution in this context. The calculations were carried out up to the linear approximation in both the spacetime geometry and the radial electric field. The solution presents a new parameter that comes from the Lagrangian of the model. Such a parameter was constrained by using the shadow radius of Sagittarius A*, recently revealed by the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration. Remarkably, the wormhole presented here is viable when its shadow is compared to the Sagittarius A* shadow.
