Constraining rotating black hole via curvature radius with observations of M87*
arXiv:2108.02415
Abstract
Combined with the observation of M87*, shadow has gradually became a promising test of the black hole nature. Recently, EHT collaboration gave new constraints on the shadow size at 68\% confidence levels. In this work, we consider the new constrains on the black hole spin and charge for the Kerr and Kerr-Newmann black holes via the local curvature radius. For the Kerr black holes, the cases with high spin and large inclination angle are ruled out. For the Kerr-Newmann black holes, two new characteristic constrained patterns for low and high black hole spins are given. Near extremal black holes are always excluded unless for the high spin and low inclination angle. Moreover, we find that low black hole spin and charge can pass these constraints as expected. These results suggest that this approach of curvature radius is effective on constraining black hole parameters. We expect the local concept of the curvature radius will play a more important role on the study of the black hole shadow in the further.
