Gravitational lensing and shadows of dilatonic black holes in dilaton-massive gravity by Shahid Chaudhary, Talha Anwar, Farruh Atamurotov, Ali M. Mubaraki, M.M. Alam

“…This paper presents optical and astrophysical aspects of charged dilatonic black holes within the framework of dilaton-massive gravity, a promising extension of General Relativity motivated by low-energy string theory. By incorporating a nonminimally coupled scalar dilaton field and massive graviton terms into the Einstein-Maxwell action, we study static, spherically symmetric black hole solutions characterized by the parameters c1, c2, and m0, which control the strength of scalar-gravity and massive gravity couplings. …”
