To understand the nature of a black hole shadow in dynamical spacetimes, we construct an analytical model of a dynamical photon sphere in the context of the Bonnor-Vaidya spacetime. Comparing the resulting photon sphere radius with the one in Vaidya spacetime, we find that the charge always decreases the radius of the photon sphere. We also prove that a naked singularity in Bonnor-Vaidya spacetime, unlike the static Reissner-Nordstrom naked singularity, may cast a shadow, and as a result, it cannot be distinguished from a black hole through its shadow.

  1. 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.

  2. Formation of regular black hole from baryonic matter

    gr-qc 2025-02 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A family of regular black hole collapse solutions is built by imposing a de Sitter core and matching to a Husain exterior; the shadow radius grows with the barotropic parameter alpha.
