Relativistic Einstein rings of Reissner–Nordström black holes nonminimally coupled to electrodynamics
Abstract In this paper we examine the relativistic Einstein rings assuming a nonminimal coupling between gravitation and electromagnetism in a Reissner–Norström background. Starting from a general action of a nonminimal coupled electrodynamics we show that an unstable effective photon sphere may be...

| description | Abstract In this paper we examine the relativistic Einstein rings assuming a nonminimal coupling between gravitation and electromagnetism in a Reissner–Norström background. Starting from a general action of a nonminimal coupled electrodynamics we show that an unstable effective photon sphere may be obtained in the regime of eikonal approximation. Restricting ourselves to the unstable photon sphere domain we examine the expected angular positions of the first and second relativistic Einstein rings. To compare our results with previous studies in the literature we model the lens as a Galactic supermassive black hole. For fixed coupling parameters we show that such angular positions decrease as the charge parameter increases. The angular separation between the first and second rings is also evaluated. We show that such separation increases as the charge parameter increases. These patterns are not followed by nearly extremal configurations. In this case we show that there is an overlap domain so that the angular position and the corresponding coupling parameter do not allow one to differ extremal cases from complementary configurations which satisfy the cosmic censorship hypothesis. |
