We develop a perturbation theory for surfaces confining photons and massive particles in static spherically symmetric spacetimes in terms of two parameters: the mass-to-energy ratio and the deviation of metric functions from a given form, e.g., the Schwarzschild solution. Expansions of the gravitational shadow radius in terms of these parameters are constructed up to the second order. The metric expansion in terms of the Schwarzschild mass-to-radius ratio is then reconstructed. Explicit analytical examples of non-standard black hole metrics are considered as an illustration. In some cases perturbative results demonstrate good accuracy even for non-small deviations.

  1. Gravitational shadow and emission spectrum of thin accretion disks in a plasma medium

    gr-qc 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A blackbody accretion disk viewed through transparent, rotating plasma produces frequency-dependent shadows and emission maps, with the frequency of the brightest total flux controlled mainly by viewing angle.

  2. Two-scale magnetically charged regular black holes from nonlinear electrodynamics and a T-duality-inspired zero-point length

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A two-parameter regular black hole family is constructed, with an explicit nonlinear electrodynamics source, exact thermodynamic identities, and analytic shadow and plasma-lensing predictions.

  3. Probing Weak-Force Corrections to Black Hole Geometry via Long Range Potentials: Feinberg-Sucher and Ferrer-Nowakowski Potentials

    gr-qc 2025-05 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    A heuristic model claims neutrino- and boson-mediated forces would shift black hole photon spheres and shadows, with attractive forces enlarging and repulsive forces shrinking them.
