Recently, two types of static black hole models that retain general covariance have been proposed within the Hamiltonian constraint approach to effective quantum gravity (EQG). We have studied the light rings and shadows of these black holes using the topological method and the backward ray-tracing method, respectively. We demonstrate that these light rings in both types of static black holes are standard and unstable according to the classification of light rings. Subsequently, we checked the position of the light rings using the photon trajectory equation. We found that although the quantum parameters do not affect the light rings of these two types of black holes, they do reduce the size of the first type of static black hole in EQG, making it smaller. However, for the second type of static black hole in EQG, we cannot distinguish it from a Schwarzschild black hole based on the shadow alone. Fortunately, the quantum parameters shrink the lensing rings of both types of black holes in EQG, causing the black hole shadow to occupy a larger proportion within the ring. This can serve as a basis for distinguishing whether the black hole is in EQG or general relativity (GR).

    gr-qc 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A regular black hole spacetime sourced by a Letelier-Alencar string cloud with a rational Dagum regulator has an AdS core, finite curvature, and EHT-compatible shadows.

  2. A Universal Framework for Horizon-Scale Tests of Gravity with Black Hole Shadows

    gr-qc 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An adaptive ray-tracing and MCMC framework estimates shadow observables for arbitrary stationary metrics; applied to the Kerr–Bertotti–Robinson spacetime it yields an Sgr A* horizon-scale magnetic field of about 93 G ...

  3. Privacy-Preserving Driver Drowsiness Detection with Spatial Self-Attention and Federated Learning

    cs.CV 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Entanglement harvesting from a mass-superposed BTZ black hole is enhanced by interference, while mutual information shows a distance-dependent crossover relative to a single spacetime.

  4. 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.

  5. Quantum improved wormholes in the Dekel-Zhao dark matter halo

    gr-qc 2025-10 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    An ASG-modified Newton constant combined with a Dekel–Zhao dark matter halo yields traversable wormhole geometries whose shadow radius can be tuned to the EHT Sgr A* bound by choosing the ASG scale ξ/M ≈ 0.8–0.9.

  6. 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.

  7. Quantum Black Holes: Perihelion Advance, Quasi Normal Modes and Classical/ Topological Thermodynamics

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A quantum-corrected Schwarzschild black hole is shown to be stable under scalar and electromagnetic perturbations, with thermodynamic topology identical to Reissner-Nordström.

    gr-qc 2025-09 conditional novelty 3.0 of 10

    A self-dual loop quantum black hole is shown to look smaller and brighter than Schwarzschild in thin disk models, with the polymer parameter P bounded by Mercury and S2 star data.
