Abstract

The study of shadow is quite prominent nowadays because of the ongoing Event Horizon Telescope\footnote{https://eventhorizontelescope.org/} observations. We construct the shadow images of charged wormholes in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton (EMD) theory. The spacetime metric of the charged wormholes contains three charges: magnetic charge , electric charge , and dilaton charge . We evaluate the photon geodesics around the charged wormholes. We also calculate the effective potential and discuss its behavior with angular momentum and different values of charges , , and . A study of the shadow of charged wormholes reveals that the shadow has an effect of the charges and . The radius of the shadow increases with the magnetic charge as well as the electric charge . We also find that the dilaton charge does not affect the shadow of the charged wormholes.
