Calculating black hole shadows: Review of analytical studies

V Perlick, OY Tsupko - Physics Reports, 2022 - Elsevier
In this article, we provide a review of the current state of the research of the black hole
shadow, focusing on analytical (as opposed to numerical and observational) studies. We …

Dynamical boson stars

Superradiant evolution of the shadow and photon ring of Sgr

Y Chen, R Roy, S Vagnozzi, L Visinelli - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
Ultralight bosons can affect the dynamics of spinning black holes (BHs) via superradiant
instability, which can lead to a time evolution of the supermassive BH shadow. We study …

Testing the rotational nature of the supermassive object M87* from the circularity and size of its first image

C Bambi, K Freese, S Vagnozzi, L Visinelli - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration has recently released the first image of a
black hole (BH), opening a new window onto tests of general relativity in the strong field …

Superradiance evolution of black hole shadows revisited

R Roy, S Vagnozzi, L Visinelli - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
Black hole (BH) shadows can be used to probe new physics in the form of ultralight particles
via the phenomenon of superradiant instability. By directly affecting the BH mass and spin …
