ModMax is a nonlinear electrodynamics theory with the same symmetries as Maxwell electrodynamics. Static spherically symmetric solutions have been derived by coupling ModMax electrodynamics with the Einstein equations, which can represent a black hole. In this paper, we analyze light propagation in the vicinity of the ModMax black hole. We determine birefringence, light trajectories, deflection, redshifts, as well as the shadow of the black hole using the effective or optical metric to determine the optical paths of light; comparison is done with the corresponding effects in the neighborhood of the Reissner-Nordstrom black hole, that is the solution to the Einstein-Maxwell equations.

Constraining ModMax Black Holes with EHT and GRAVITY Observations: Optical Signatures and Accretion Disk Properties
Combining EHT shadow observations of M87* and Sgr A* with mass and distance priors yields 95% upper limits Q < 0.391 and v < 4.153 on the ModMax black hole charge and nonlinearity parameter.
