Gravitational lensing by exotic objects
read the original abstract
This paper reviews a phenomenological approach to the gravitational lensing by exotic objects such as the Ellis wormhole lens, where exotic lens objects may follow a non-standard form of the equation of state or may obey a modified gravity theory. A gravitational lens model is proposed in the inverse powers of the distance, such that the Schwarzschild lens and exotic lenses can be described in a unified manner as a one parameter family. As observational implications, the magnification, shear, photo-centroid motion and time delay in this lens model are discussed.

Observational signatures of negative mass wormholes through their shadows
Numerical simulations of negative mass wormholes reveal distinct photon ring substructures in their shadows compared to Schwarzschild black holes and Simpson-Visser wormholes.
