Probing Kalb-Ramond gravity with charged rotating black holes: constraints from EHT observations

Towheed Ahmad Nengroo, Shafqat Ul Islam, Sushant G. Ghosh

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has guided strong-field gravitational physics by providing the first direct images of the supermassive black holes M87* and Sagittarius A*. The EH…

Probing Lorentz Symmetry Violation through Lensing Observables of Rotating Black Holes

Arun Kumar, Shafqat Ul Islam, Sushant G. Ghosh

We find a Kerr-like black hole solution-a rotating Bumblebee black hole (RBBH) with a Lorentz-violating parameter and examine the strong lensing by it. The parameter

Testing Strong Gravitational Lensing Effects of Supermassive Black Holes with String-Inspired Metric: Observational Signatures and EHT Constraints

Amnish Vachher, Shafqat Ul Islam, Rahul Kumar Walia +1

We analyze gravitational lensing in the strong field limit for spherically symmetric string-inspired Euler-Heisenberg black holes, characterized by magnetic charge () and Einste…

Shadows and parameter estimation of rotating quantum corrected black holes and constraints from EHT observation of M87* and Sgr A*

Heena Ali, Shafqat Ul Islam, Sushant G. Ghosh

The scarcity of quantum gravity (QG) inspired rotating black holes limits the progress of testing QG through Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observations. The EHT imaged the supermas…

Photon orbits and phase transition for gravitational decoupled Kerr anti-de Sitter black holes

Suhail Khan, Shafqat Ul Islam, Sushant G. Ghosh +1

Interpreting the cosmological constant as the energy of the vacuum and using a gravitational decoupling approach leads to a new Kerr--anti-de Sitter (AdS) black hole. The metric of…

Investigating Rotating Black Holes in Bumblebee Gravity: Insights from EHT Observations

Shafqat Ul Islam, Sushant G. Ghosh, Sunil D. Maharaj

The EHT observation revealed event horizon-scale images of the supermassive black holes Sgr A* and M87* and these results are consistent with the shadow of a Kerr black hole as pre…
