The Event Horizon Telescope collaboration has revealed the first direct image of a black hole, as per the shadow of a Kerr black hole of general relativity. However, other Kerr-like rotating black holes of modified gravity theories cannot be ignored, and they are essential as they offer an arena in which these theories can be tested through astrophysical observation. This motivates us to investigate asymptotically de Sitter rotating black holes wherein interpreting the cosmological constant Λ as the vacuum energy leads to a deformation in the vicinity of a black hole—new Kerr–de Sitter solution, which has a richer geometric structure than the original one. We derive an analytical formula necessary for the shadow of the new Kerr–de Sitter black holes and then visualize the shadow of black holes for various parameters for an observer at given coordinates (r0,θ0) in the domain (r0,rc) and estimate the cosmological constant Λ from its shadow observables. The shadow observables of the new Kerr–de Sitter black holes significantly deviate from the corresponding observables of the Kerr–de Sitter black hole over an appreciable range of the parameter space. Interestingly, we find a finite parameter space for (Λ, a) where the observables of the two black holes are indistinguishable.

Motivated by recent astrophysical observations, we investigate the shadow behaviors of four-dimensional charged rotating black holes with a cosmological constant. This study is made in terms of a reduced moduli space parameterized by the charge and the rotation parameters. For fixed observers, we analyse in some details the shadow behaviors and the corresponding naked singularities of Kerr–Newman and Kerr–Sen four-dimensional black holes in Anti-de Sitter backgrounds. Then, a comparative discussion is provided by computing the geometrical observables and the energy emission rate.

We study shadows of regular rotating black holes described by the axially symmetric solutions asymptotically Kerr for a distant observer, obtained from regular spherical solutions of the Kerr–Schild class specified by T t t = T r r ( p r = − ε ) . All regular solutions obtained with the Newman–Janis algorithm belong to this class. Their basic generic feature is the de Sitter vacuum interior. Information about the interior content of a regular rotating de Sitter-Kerr black hole can be in principle extracted from observation of its shadow. We present the general formulae for description of shadows for this class of regular black holes, and numerical analysis for two particular regular black hole solutions. We show that the shadow of a de Sitter-Kerr black hole is typically smaller than that for the Kerr black hole, and the difference depends essentially on the interior density and on the pace of its decreasing.

Extremal cosmological black holes are analysed in the framework of the most general second order scalar-tensor theory, the so-called Horndeski gravity. Such extremal black holes are a particular case of Schwarzschild-De Sitter black holes that arises when the black hole horizon and the cosmological one coincide. Such metric is induced by a particular value of the effective cosmological constant and is known as Nariai spacetime. The existence of this type of solutions is studied when considering the Horndeski Lagrangian and its stability is analysed, where the so-called anti-evaporation regime is studied. Contrary to other frameworks, the radius of the horizon remains stable for some cases of the Horndeski Lagrangian when considering perturbations at linear order.

We construct analytical charged anti-de Sitter (AdS) black holes surrounded by perfect fluids in four dimensional Rastall gravity. Then, we discuss the thermodynamics and phase transitions of charged AdS black holes immersed in regular matter like dust and radiation, or exotic matter like quintessence, ΛCDM type, and phantom fields. Surrounded by phantom field, the charged AdS black hole demonstrates a new phenomenon of reentrant phase transition (RPT) when the parameters Q, Np, and ψ satisfy some certain condition, along with the usual small/large black hole (SBH/LBH) phase transition for the surrounding dust, radiation, quintessence, and cosmological constant fields.

A study of the shadow cast by rotating black holes in different models of modified gravity is presented. It is shown that the size of the shadow cast depends on the modified gravity model used. The distortions of the shadow cast by modified gravity black holes are investigated and the effects are compared with the distortions cast by Kerr black hole. The shadow of a rotating black hole in modified gravity is found to be similar to the shadow cast by Kerr black hole but with different sizes and distortion effects. The naked singularity by rotating modified gravity black hole is discussed. Finally, it is shown that some modified gravity models can present a considerable contribution to the size of black hole shadow.

Abstract We find a new non BPS solution in N = 2 D = 4 gauged supergravity coupled to U(1) gauge fields and matter. It consists in a closed universe with two extremal black holes of equal size, surrounding two singularities. They have opposite magnetic charges (and no electric charges), but stay in static equilibrium thanks to the positive pressure of a cosmological constant. The geometry is perfectly symmetric under the exchange of the black holes and the flip of the sign of the charges. However the scalar field is non constant and non symmetric, with different values at the horizons, which depend on a real modulus. Remarkably we show that it satisfies the attractor mechanism and the entropy indeed depends only on the magnetic charges. At one of the horizons the solution becomes $$ \frac{1}{2} $$ 1 2 -BPS supersymmetric, while at the other one there is no supersymmetry, but the entropy remains independent from the scalar modulus.

We consider self-consistent coupling of bulk Einstein–Maxwell–Kalb–Ramond system to codimension-one charged lightlikep-brane with dynamical (variable) tension (LL-brane). The latter is described by a manifestly reparametrization-invariant worldvolume action significantly different from the ordinary Nambu–Goto one. We show that the LL-brane is the appropriate gravitational and charge source in the Einstein–Maxwell–Kalb–Ramond equations of motion needed to generate a self-consistent solution describing nonsingular black hole. The latter consists of de Sitter interior region and exterior Reissner–Nordström region glued together along their common horizon (it is the inner horizon from the Reissner–Nordström side). The matching horizon is automatically occupied by the LL-brane as a result of its worldvolume Lagrangian dynamics, which dynamically generates the cosmological constant in the interior region and uniquely determines the mass and charge parameters of the exterior region. Using similar techniques we construct a self-consistent wormhole solution of Einstein–Maxwell system coupled to electrically neutral LL-brane, which describes two identical copies of a nonsingular black hole region being the exterior Reissner–Nordström region above the inner horizon, glued together along their common horizon (the inner Reissner–Nordström one) occupied by the LL-brane. The corresponding mass and charge parameters of the two black hole "universes" are explicitly determined by the dynamical LL-brane tension. This also provides an explicit example of Misner–Wheeler "charge without charge" phenomenon. Finally, this wormhole solution connecting two nonsingular black holes can be transformed into a special case of Kantowski–Sachs bouncing cosmology solution if instead of Reissner–Nordström we glue together two copies of the exterior Reissner–Nordström–de Sitter region with big enough bare cosmological constant, such that the radial coordinate becomes a timelike variable everywhere in the two "universes," except at the matching hypersurface occupied by the LL-brane.

AbstractThis paper aims to obtain the thermodynamic variables (temperature, thermodynamic volume, angular velocity, electrostatic potential, and heat capacity) corresponding to the Schwarzschild black hole, Reissner-Nordstrom black hole, Kerr black hole and Kerr-Newman-Anti-de Sitter black hole. We also obtained the free energy for black holes by using three different methods. We obtained the equation of state for rotating Banados, Teitelboim and Zanelli black holes. Finally, we used the quantum correction of the partition function to obtain the heat capacity and entropy in the quantum sense.

We prove a theorem that characterizes a two-parameter family of solutions to Einstein equations with a negative cosmological constant, representing, in general, non-spherical radiating black holes in an anti-de Sitter background. It is shown that the best known non-spherical radiating black hole solutions are particular cases and static non-spherical black hole solutions, for Type I fluid, are also retrieved. A brief discussion on the energy conditions, singularities and horizons is provided.

It has been shown previously that an extremal Reissner–Nordström or an extremal Kerr black hole cannot be overcharged or overspun by a test particle, if radiative and self-force effects are neglected. In this paper, we consider extremal charged and rotating black holes with cosmological constants. By studying the motion of test particles, we find the following results: An extremal Reissner–Nordström anti-de Sitter (RN–AdS) black hole can be overcharged by a test particle but an extremal Reissner–Nordström de Sitter (RN–dS) black hole cannot be overcharged. We also show that both extremal Kerr–de Sitter (Kerr–dS) and Kerr–anti-de Sitter (Kerr–AdS) black holes can be overspun by a test particle, implying a possible breakdown of the cosmic censorship conjecture. For the Kerr–AdS case, the overspinning requires that the energy of the particle be negative, a reminiscent of the Penrose process. In contrast to the extremal RN and Kerr black holes, in which cases the cosmic censorship is upheld, our results suggest some subtle relations between the cosmological constants and the cosmic censorship. We also discuss the effect of radiation reaction for the Kerr–dS case and find that the magnitude of energy loss due to gravitational radiation may not be enough to prevent the violation of the cosmic censorship.
