Observational predictions of LQG motivated polymerized black holes and constraints from Sgr A* and M87*

Abstract

Loop quantum gravity inspired partial polymer quantization in four-dimensional spacetime leads to a globally regular black hole with a single horizon. The polymerized black hole metric is characterized by the minimum length parameter $k$, and mimics the Schwarzschild black hole in the weak-field limit. We present an analytic and numerical investigation of the strong gravitational lensing and shadow morphology to determine the observational impacts of quantum effects. Interestingly, the light deflection angle, the angular separation between the outermost relativistic image, and magnification are significantly larger than those for the Schwarzschild black hole. Using the ray-tracing technique, we simulate the black hole shadows under three distinct optically thin accretion models: static spherical accretion, radially infalling spherical accretion, and the thin accretion disk model. Polymerized black holes' shadow morphology strongly depends on $k$. We derive constraints on $k$ from the M87* and Sgr A* black hole shadow observations from the Event Horizon Telescope.
