Rotating charged black holes in EMS theory: shadow studies and constraints from EHT observations by Odil Yunusov, Javlon Rayimbaev, Furkat Sarikulov, Muhammad Zahid, Ahmadjon Abdujabbarov, Zdeněk Stuchlík

“…Abstract One of the possible ways to test gravity theories and get constraints on parameters of a gravity theory and a black hole is based on studies of black hole shadow applying Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) data from the shadow sizes of M87* and Sgr A*. …”

Circular light orbits of a general, static, and spherical symmetrical wormhole with $$Z_2$$ Z 2 symmetry by Naoki Tsukamoto

“…Abstract Recently, the ring images or the shadow images of the centers of the galaxy M87 and the Milky way have been reported by Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration. It is believed that the ring images imply that the central objects form unstable light circular orbits. …”

Spontaneous Lorentz symmetry-breaking constraints in Kalb–Ramond gravity by Ednaldo L. B. Junior, José Tarciso S. S. Junior, Francisco S. N. Lobo, Manuel E. Rodrigues, Diego Rubiera-Garcia, Luís F. Dias da Silva, Henrique A. Vieira

“…The ratio of precession frequencies for General Relativity (GR) and KR gravity is computed, with Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) results providing a parameter range for the spontaneous symmetry-breaking of $$-0.185022 \le l \le 0.060938$$ - 0.185022 ≤ l ≤ 0.060938 . …”

Multimessenger Probes of Supermassive Black Hole Spin Evolution by Angelo Ricarte, Priyamvada Natarajan, Ramesh Narayan, Daniel C. M. Palumbo

“…We further predict spin distributions accessible via spatially resolved event horizons by the next-generation Event Horizon Telescope and Black Hole Explorer, as well as gravitational waves by the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), each of which offers unique and distinct windows into the population of spinning BHs. …”
