Observational appearance of Kaluza-Klein black holes

Abstract

The optical properties of rotating black holes in Kaluza-Klein theory described by the total mass, spin, and electric and magnetic charges are investigated in detail. Using a developed general relativistic ray-tracing code to calculate the motion of photons, the numerous shadows of Kaluza-Klein black holes are generated. The properties of the black hole shadow and the light deflection angle around these black holes are also studied in order to put constraints on the parameters of Kaluza-Klein black holes using M87* shadow observations. The possibility of imposing constraints on Kaluza-Klein black holes using shadow observations is investigated. Moreover, we find that small charges (electric and magnetic) of the black hole can meet these constraints. We conclude that with the current precision of the M87* black hole shadow image observation by the EHT collaboration, the shadow observations of Kaluza-Klein black holes are indistinguishable from that of the Kerr black hole. Much better observational accuracy than the current capabilities of the EHT collaboration are required in order to place verified constraints on the parameters of modified theories of gravity in the strong field regime.
