How the supermassive black hole SgrA* in the Milky Way Center looks like for a distant observer? It depends on the black hole highlighting by the surrounding hot matter. The black hole shadow (the photon capture cross-section) would be viewed if there is a stationary luminous background. The black hole event horizon is invisible directly (per se). Nevertheless, a more compact (with respect to black hole shadow) projection of the black hole event horizon on the celestial sphere may be reconstructed by detecting the highly redshifted photons emitted by the nonstationary luminous matter plunging into the black hole and approaching the event horizon. It is appropriate to call this reconstructed projection of the event horizon on the celestial sphere for a distant observer as the “lensed event horizon image”, or simply the “event horizon image”. This event horizon image is placed on the celestial sphere within the position of black hole shadow. Amazingly, the event horizon image is a gravitationally lensed projection on the celestial sphere of the whole surface of the event horizon globe. As a result, the black holes may be viewed at once from both the front and back sides. The lensed event horizon image may be considered as a genuine silhouette of the black hole. For example, a dark northern hemisphere of the event horizon image is the simplest model for a black hole silhouette in the presence of a thin accretion disk.

The behavior of a charged scalar field in the RN black hole space–time is studied using the WKB approximation. In the present work, it is assumed that matter waves can be reflected from the event horizon. Using this effect, the Hawking temperature and the absorption cross section for an RN black hole placed in a charged scalar field are calculated. The absorption cross section σabs is found to be inversely proportional to the square of the Hawking temperature of the black hole.

We review the physical origins for possible visible images of the supermassive black hole M87* in the galaxy M87 and SgrA* in the Milky Way Galaxy. The classical dark black hole shadow of the maximal size is visible in the case of luminous background behind the black hole at the distance exceeding the so-called photon spheres. The notably smaller dark shadow (dark silhouette) of the black hole event horizon is visible if the black hole is highlighted by the inner parts of the luminous accreting matter inside the photon spheres. The first image of the supermassive black hole M87*, obtained by the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration, shows the lensed dark image of the southern hemisphere of the black hole event horizon globe, highlighted by accreting matter, while the classical black hole shadow is invisible at all. A size of the dark spot on the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) image agrees with a corresponding size of the dark event horizon silhouette in a thin accretion disk model in the case of either the high or moderate value of the black hole spin, a≳0.75.

Abstract We compute thermal 2-point correlation functions in the black brane AdS5 background dual to 4d CFT’s at finite temperature for operators of large scaling dimension. We find a formula that matches the expected structure of the OPE. It exhibits an exponentiation property, whose origin we explain. We also compute the first correction to the two-point function due to graviton emission, which encodes the proper time from the event horizon to the black hole singularity.

Accretion onto a black hole transforms the darkest objects in the universe to the brightest. The high energy radiation emitted from the accretion flow before it disappears forever below the event horizon lights up the regions of strong spacetime curvature close to the black hole, enabling strong field tests of General Relativity. I review the observational constraints on strong gravity from such accretion flows, and show how the data strongly support the existence of such fundamental General Relativistic features of a last stable orbit and the event horizon. However, these successes also imply that gravity does not differ significantly from Einstein's predictions above the event horizon, so any new theory of quantum gravity will be very difficult to test.

The ultrahigh energy neutrino cross section is well understood in the standard model for neutrino energies up to 1012 GeV, Tests of neutrino oscillations (νμ ↔ ντ) from extragalactic sources of neutrinos are possible with large underground detectors. Measurements of horizontal air shower event rates at neutrino energies above 1010 GeV will be able to constrain nonstandard model contributions to the neutrino-nucleon cross section, e.g., from mini-black hole production.

We calculate modifications to the Schwarzschild solution by using a semiclassical analysis of loop quantum black hole. We obtain a metric inside the event horizon that coincides with the Schwarzschild solution near the horizon but that is substantially different at the Planck scale. In particular, we obtain a bounce of theS2sphere for a minimum value of the radius and that it is possible to have another event horizon close to ther=0point.

A direct relation between the time-dependent Milne geometry and the Rindler spacetime is shown. Milne's metric corresponds to the region beyond Rindler's event horizon (in the wedge t ≻ |x|). We point out that inside a Schwarzschild black hole and near its horizon, the metric may be Milne's flat metric. It was found that the shear tensor associated to a congruence of fluid particles of the RHIC expanding fireball has the same structure as that corresponding to the anisotropic fluid from the black hole interior, even though the latter geometry is curved.
