We investigate the strong gravitational lensing of spherically symmetric black holes in the novel Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet (EGB) gravity surrounded by unmagnetized plasma medium. The deflection angle in the strong deflection limit in EGB spacetime with homogeneous plasma is derived. We find that both the coupling constant [Formula: see text] in the novel EGB gravity and the presence of plasma can affect the radius of photon sphere, strong field limit coefficient and other lensing observables significantly, while plasma has little effect on the angular image separation and the relative magnifications as [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively.

Special Case

In this paper, we have investigated the gravitational lensing in a spherically symmetric spacetime with torsion in the generalized Einstein–Cartan–Kibble–Sciama (ECKS) theory of gravity by considering higher order terms. The torsion parameters change the spacetime structure, which affects the photon sphere, the deflection angle and the strong gravitational lensing. The condition of existence of horizons is not inconsistent with that of the photon sphere. Especially, there exists a novel case in which there is horizon but no photon sphere for the considered spacetime. In this special case, the deflection angle of the light ray near the event horizon also diverges logarithmically, but the coefficients in the strong-field limit are different from those in the cases with photon sphere. Moreover, in the far-field limit, we find that the deflection angle for certain torsion parameters approaches zero from the negative side, which is different from those in the usual spacetimes.

Lensing Effect

Recent observational evidence reveals the existence of black holes in the galaxy. Using strong field lensing effect, we find out the expressions of the radius of the photon sphere, the deflection angle, the separation between the first and the other images, the ratio between the flux of the first image as well as the flux coming from all the other images for dilaton–axion black holes and compare the results with Reissner–Nordstrom black holes. We also investigate the variations of primary and secondary image positions as well as their magnifications with respect to the source position for this kind of black holes.

This paper is devoted to studying two interesting issues of a black hole with string cloud background. Firstly, we investigate null geodesics and find unstable orbital motion of particles. Secondly, we calculate deflection angle in strong field limit. We then find positions, magnifications, and observables of relativistic images for supermassive black hole at the galactic center. We conclude that string parameter highly affects the lensing process and results turn out to be quite different from the Schwarzschild black hole.

AbstractA perturbative method to compute the deflection angle of both timelike and null rays in arbitrary static and spherically symmetric spacetimes in the strong field limit is proposed. The result takes a quasi-series form of $$(1-b_c/b)$$ ( 1 - b c / b ) where b is the impact parameter and $$b_c$$ b c is its critical value, with coefficients of the series explicitly given. This result also naturally takes into account the finite distance effect of both the source and detector, and allows to solve the apparent angles of the relativistic images in a more precise way. From this, the BH angular shadow size is expressed as a simple formula containing metric functions and particle/photon sphere radius. The magnification of the relativistic images were shown to diverge at different values of the source-detector angular coordinate difference, depending on the relation between the source and detector distance from the lens. To verify all these results, we then applied them to the Hayward BH spacetime, concentrating on the effects of its charge parameter l and the asymptotic velocity v of the signal. The BH shadow size were found to decrease slightly as l increases to its critical value, and increase as v decreases from light speed. For the deflection angle and the magnification of the images however, both the increase of l and decrease of v will increase their values.

This paper is focused on the study of charged wormholes which are combinations of Morris–Thorne wormhole and Reissner–Nordström spacetime. Gravitational lensing is an important tool which has been adopted to detect various objects like wormholes using the notion of deflection angle. In this work, we have evaluated deflection angle with and without using the strong field limit coefficients and compared the results. Further, exact charged wormhole solutions are obtained in [Formula: see text] gravity and the nature of the energy conditions is examined.

We investigate the strong gravitational lensing on equatorial plane as well as quasi-equatorial plane by the Kerr–Newman-Nut-Quintessence (KNNQ) black hole (BH) with the equation of state (EoS) parameter of the quintessence [Formula: see text] and the quintessence density [Formula: see text]. Our results show that the strong gravitational lensing in the KNNQ black hole space–time has some distinct behaviors from those in the backgrounds of the four dimension Kerr black hole. Also, we investigate the strong gravitational lensing on equatorial plane as well as quasi-equatorial plane by the KNNQ BH with the effects of Nut charge, spin parameter and quintessence parameter. First, we calculate the null geodesic equations using the Hamilton–Jacobi separation method. Then we investigate the equatorial lensing by KNNQ black hole. We obtain the deflection angle and deflection coefficients in the equatorial plane, which is affected by EoS parameter of the quintessence [Formula: see text], quintessence density [Formula: see text], Nut parameter [Formula: see text], spin parameter [Formula: see text] and quintessence parameter [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text]. Next, we discuss the lens equation and the observables in the equatorial plane. Finally, we investigate gravitational lensing by the KNNQ black hole in the quasi-equatorial plane. In this work, the quintessence density [Formula: see text], the EoS parameter of the quintessence [Formula: see text], Nut parameter [Formula: see text], spin parameter [Formula: see text] and quintessence parameter [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] have significant effects on the strong gravitational lensing both in equatorial plane as well as quasi-equatorial plane.

We study two interesting features of a black hole with an ordinary as well as phantom global monopole. Firstly, we investigate null geodesics which imply unstable orbital motion of particles for both cases. Secondly, we evaluate deflection angle in strong field regime. We then find Einstein rings, magnifications, and observables of the relativistic images for supermassive black hole at the center of galaxy NGC4486B. We also examine time delays for different galaxies and present our results numerically. It is found that the deflection angle for ordinary/phantom global monopole is greater/smaller than that of Schwarzschild black hole. In strong field limit, the remaining properties of these black holes are quite different from the Schwarzschild black hole.

We study the motion of massless test particles in a five-dimensional (5D) Myers–Perry black hole spacetime with two-spin parameters. The behavior of the effective potential in view of different values of black hole parameters is discussed in the equatorial plane. The frequency shift of photons is calculated which is found to depend on the spin parameter of black hole and the observed redshift is discussed accordingly. The deflection angle and the strong deflection limit coefficients are also calculated and their behavior with the spin parameters is analyzed in detail. It is observed that the behaviors of both deflection angle and strong field coefficient differs from Kerr black hole spacetime in four dimensions in General Relativity (GR), which is mainly due to the presence of two-spin parameters in higher dimension.

ABSTRACT We demonstrate an efficient method to compute the strong-gravitational-lensing deflection angle and magnification for any elliptical surface density profile. This method solves a numerical hurdle in lens modelling that has lacked a general solution for nearly three decades. The hurdle emerges because it is prohibitive to derive analytic expressions of the lensing quantities for most elliptical mass profiles. In our method, we first decompose an elliptical mass profile into concentric Gaussian components. We introduce an integral transform that provides us with a fast and accurate algorithm for this Gaussian decomposition. We derive analytic expressions of the lensing quantities for a Gaussian component. As a result, we can compute these quantities for the total mass profile by adding up the contributions from the individual components. This lensing analysis self-consistently completes the kinematic description in terms of Gaussian components presented by Cappellari (2008). Our method is general without extra computational burden unlike other methods currently in use.
