abstract

We use data from M87* central black hole shadow, as well as from the S2 star observations, in order to extract constraints on Barrow entropy. The latter is a modified entropy arising from quantum-gravitational effects on the black hole horizon, quantified by the new parameter $\Delta$. Such a change in entropy leads to a change in temperature, as well as to the properties of the black hole and its shadow. We investigate the photon sphere and the shadow of a black hole with Barrow entropy, and assuming a simple model for infalling and radiating gas we estimate the corresponding intensity. Furthermore, we use the radius in order to extract the real part of the quasinormal modes, and for completeness we investigate the spherical accretion of matter onto the black hole, focusing on isothermal and polytropic test fluids. We extract the allowed parameter region, and by applying a Monte-Carlo-Markov Chains analysis we find that $ \Delta \simeq 0.0036^{+0.0792}_{-0.0145}$. Hence, our results place the upper bound $\Delta\lesssim0.0828$ at 1$\sigma$, a constraint that is less strong than the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis one, but significantly stronger than the late-time cosmological constraints.

  1. The generalized second law as a thermodynamic selection criterion for dynamical dark energy

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The generalized second law imposes complementary bounds on the horizon entropy scaling k in phantom and quintessence regimes, selecting k=2 at a smooth phantom-divide crossing.

  2. Cosmological consequences of scale-dependent Barrow-Tsallis entropy

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A scale-dependent Barrow-Tsallis entropy cosmology fits cosmic data but is statistically disfavored versus ΛCDM, with only a modest and partially circular Hubble-tension 'alleviation'.

  3. Barrow and Tsallis entropies after the DESI DR2 BAO data

    gr-qc 2025-04 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    DESI DR2 BAO data, combined with supernovae and cosmic chronometers, favor a negative Barrow entropy parameter that corresponds to mildly phantom dark energy, but Lambda-CDM is still slightly preferred by information ...

  4. Interacting Barrow Holographic Dark Energy in Non-flat Universe

    gr-qc 2024-12 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    Derives a non-flat interacting Barrow holographic dark energy model and fits it to CC and Pantheon data, but the statistical claim of preference is contradicted by the paper's own AIC/BIC/DIC table.

  5. On Accretion and Neutrino Investigations of Thermodynamically Reconstructed Black Holes from Three-Parameter Generalized Entropy

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A generalized-entropy black-hole model with horizon temperature fixed by entropy predicts sign-controlled ISCO, shadow, and efficiency shifts, but relies on an arbitrary exterior profile p.

  6. Effective matter sectors from modified entropies

    gr-qc 2025-11 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Choosing a modified entropy S(r) fixes a metric f(r)=1-4πM/S'(r), and the Einstein tensor of that metric acts as an anisotropic effective fluid.

    The entanglement entropy of Hawking radiation in non-extensive entropy-corrected Schwarzschild black holes grows linearly until an island forms and later saturates, with the Page time depending on the entropy deformat...
