Shadow of charged black holes in Gauss-Bonnet gravity

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the effect of higher curvature corrections from Gauss-Bonnet gravity on the shadow of charged black holes in both $AdS$ and Minkowski spacetimes. The null geodesic equations are computed in $d=5$ spacetime dimensions by using the directions of symmetries and Hamilton-Jacobi equation. With the null geodesics in hand, we then proceed to evaluate the celestial coordinates ($\alpha ,\beta$) and the radius $R_s$ of the black hole shadow and represent it graphically. The effects of charge $Q$ of the black hole and the Gauss-Bonnet parameter $\gamma$ on the radius of the shadow $R_s$ is studied in detail. It is observed that the Gauss-Bonnet parameter $\gamma$ affects the radius of the black hole shadow $R_s$ differently for the $AdS$ black hole spacetime in comparison to the black hole spacetime which is asymptotically flat. In particular the radius of the black hole shadow increases with increase in the Gauss-Bonnet parameter in case of the $AdS$ black hole spacetime and decreases in case of the asymptotically flat black hole spacetime. We then introduce a plasma background in order to observe the change in the silhouette of the black hole shadow due to a change in the refractive index of the plasma medium. Finally, we study the effect of the Gauss-Bonnet parameter $\gamma$ on the energy emission rate of the black hole which depends on the black hole shadow radius and represent the results graphically.
