Here we provide shadow images of a Kerr-like black hole (BH) in cold dark matter (CDM) halo illuminated with a celestial light source and a thin accretion disk. The impact of spin parameter, critical density and the scale radius on the observed images of BHs is carefully addressed. The results indicate that as spin parameter increases, the circular orbits are shifted rightwards, while the larger values of critical density and the scale radius are the cause to enhance the radius of circular orbits of the BH shadow. In the case of the celestial light source, the impact of critical density on shadow distortion is negligible, but this influence is relatively smaller and becomes appreciable when the scale radius has larger values. Next, we discuss the intensity and the size of the inner shadow, which are gradually increasing with the increase of both parameters. On the other hand, in the case of retrograde flow, the intensity of the shadow images significantly decreases, and a crescent moon emerges on the upper right side of the screen. Subsequently, the distinctive features of red-shift factors for direct and lensed images with prograde and retrograde flows are discussed. The outcomes indicate that the distribution of red-shift factors and the optical appearance are closely related to the behavior of accreting flow as well as to relevant parameters.

  1. Reshaping the inner shadow of a Kerr black hole by a torn accretion disk

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Torn accretion disks around Kerr black holes erode the inner shadow and produce bifurcated, crescent, and multi-order ring morphologies hard to obtain with standard equatorial disks.

  2. Reshaping the inner shadow of a Kerr black hole by a torn accretion disk

    gr-qc 2026-04 conditional novelty 6.0

    Torn accretion disks around Kerr black holes erode the inner shadow and create bifurcated, crescent, and multi-ring shadow features driven by sub-disk discontinuities and outer tilt angle.

  3. Gravity/thermodynamics correspondence via black hole shadows

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Cuspy black hole shadows correspond to swallowtail thermodynamic free energy, with boundary self-intersections marking geometric phase transitions whose critical exponents fall in the mean-field class.

  4. Probing Lorentz-violating effects via precession and accretion disk images of a rotating bumblebee black hole

    gr-qc 2026-04 conditional novelty 5.0

    Lorentz violation in a rotating bumblebee black hole suppresses Lense-Thirring precession, increases periastron precession, shrinks the inner shadow, and enhances the lensed ring while leaving the critical curve nearl...

  5. Probing Horndeski Gravity via Kerr Black Hole: Insights from Thin Accretion Disks and Shadows with EHT Observations

    gr-qc 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0

    For a rotating Horndeski black hole, the hair parameter h shrinks and deforms the shadow, and EHT shadow sizes allow but do not uniquely confirm a non-zero h.

  6. Photon Spheres and shadow of modified black-hole entropies

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Entropy corrections to black holes produce modified metrics whose photon-sphere and shadow sizes can be constrained by Sgr A* observations.
