Critical behavior of AdS black holes surrounded by dark fluid with Chaplygin-like equation of state

Xiang-Qian Li, Hao-Peng Yan, Li-Li Xing +1

Supposing the existence of Dark Fluid with a Chaplygin-like equation of state (CDF) as a cosmic background, we obtain a static spherically-symmetric black hole (BH) soluti…

Photon emissions from Kerr equatorial geodesic orbits

Yanming Su, Minyong Guo, Haopeng Yan +1

We consider the light emitters moving freely along the geodesics on the equatorial plane near a Kerr black hole and study the observability of these emitters. To do so, we assume t…

Image of Kerr-Melvin black hole with thin accretion disk

Yehui Hou, Zhenyu Zhang, Haopeng Yan +2

In this present work, we study the observational appearance of Kerr-Melvin black hole (KMBH) illuminated by an accretion disk. The accretion disk is assumed to be located on the eq…

Shadows of Kerr black holes with a Gaussian-distributed plasma in the polar direction

Zhenyu Zhang, Haopeng Yan, Minyong Guo +1

In this work, we study the shadow of Kerr black hole surrounded by an axisymmetric plasma, whose density takes a Gaussian distribution in the polar direction. Along the radial dire…

Polarized Images of Synchrotron Radiations in Curved Spacetime

Zezhou Hu, Yehui Hou, Haopeng Yan +2

In this work, we derive two formulas encoding the polarization direction and luminosity of synchrotron radiations from the moving electrons in curved spacetime under the geometric…

Multi-level images around Kerr-Newman black holes

Yehui Hou, Peng Liu, Minyong Guo +2

We study the lensing effects of Kerr-Newman (KN) black holes and the multi-level images of luminous sources around the black holes. We obtain the analytic forms of the lens equatio…

Photon emissions from near-horizon extremal and near-extremal Kerr equatorial emitters

Haopeng Yan, Zezhou Hu, Minyong Guo +1

We consider isotropic and monochromatic photon emissions from equatorial emitters moving along future-directed timelike geodesics in the near-horizon extremal Kerr (NHEK) and near-…

QED Effects on Kerr Black Hole Shadows immersed in uniform magnetic fields

Zhen Zhong, Zezhou Hu, Haopeng Yan +2

In this work, taking the QED effect into account, we investigate the shadows of the Kerr black holes immersed in uniform magnetic fields through the numerical backward ray-tracing…

Observability of Zero-angular-momentum Sources Near Kerr Black Holes

Haopeng Yan, Minyong Guo, Bin Chen

We revisit monochromatic and isotropic photon emissions from the zero-angular\linebreak-momentum sources (ZAMSs) near a Kerr black hole. We investigate the escape probability of th…

Observational signature of a near-extremal Kerr-Sen black hole in the heterotic string theory

Minyong Guo, Shupeng Song, Haopeng Yan

We analytically study the optical appearance of an isotropically emitter orbiting near the horizon of a near-extremely rotating Kerr-Sen (KS) black hole which is an electrically ch…

Influence of a plasma on the observational signature of a high-spin Kerr black hole

Haopeng Yan

To approach a more reliable observational signature of a high-spin Kerr black hole, one should take into account the effects of its surroundings. To this end we study in this paper…

Observational signature of near-extremal Kerr-like black holes in a modified gravity theory at the Event Horizon Telescope

Minyong Guo, Niels A. Obers, Haopeng Yan

We study the shadows cast by near-extremal Kerr-MOG black holes for different values of the parameter in modified gravity (MOG). In particular, we consider an isotropic emitter orb…

Warping of accretion disk and launching of jet by a spinning black hole in NGC 4258

Qingwen Wu, Hao Yan, Zhu Yi

We fit the most updated broadband spectral energy distribution from radio to X-rays for NGC 4258 with a coupled accretion-jet model that surrounding a Kerr black hole (BH), where b…
