Abstract
This paper investigates the appearance characteristics of static black holes embedded in Dehnen-(1,4,5/2)-type dark matter halos with a quintessential field, focusing on how the dark matter halo and dark energy affect the black hole images. We first derive the event horizon radius and the photon effective potential of the black hole, and then calculate critical quantities such as the critical photon sphere radius and critical impact parameter under different parameter sets. Trajectories of photons are subsequently plotted. The study reveals that as the parameters of the dark matter halo (the central density of the dark matter halo and the scale radius of the central halo ) and the quintessential field (the normalization factor and the equation of state parameter of dark energy ) increase, the aforementioned physical quantities generally exhibit an increasing trend. Based on the derived general expressions for the redshift factor and integrated intensity, we further explore the optical effects of the spherical accretion and the thin-disk accretion models. The results indicate that dark energy exerts an influence on the black hole shadow that is strongly dependent on the observer's position, whereas the influence exerted by dark matter exhibits no such conspicuous dependence. Furthermore, dark matter and dark energy have distinct effects on both the intensity and the radius of the black hole shadow. In particular, the intensity exhibits a greater sensitivity to dark energy, whereas the radius is more responsive to dark matter. This distinction offers a potential observational criterion for identifying, through black hole images, whether the dominant interacting component near the black hole is dark matter or dark energy, and provides an important basis for constraining the equation-of-state parameter .
