Gravitational Lensing by Charged Black Holes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The physics associated with spherically symmetric charged black holes are analyzed from the point of view of weak gravitational lensing as a means for determining the dimensionality of spacetime. In particular, the effect of charged black holes in four and five space time dimensions on the motion of photons are studied using the equations for the null geodesics and deriving the weak limit bending angle and the time delay for arrival times.

Strong gravitational lensing: Why no central black holes?
We investigate how central black holes (BHs) inhabited in galactic dark halos would affect strong gravitational lensing. The distribution of integral lensing probability with image separations are calculated for quasars of redshift 1.5 by foreground dark matter halos. The mass density of dark halos is taken to be NavarroFrenk-White (NFW) profile such that, when the mass of a halo is less than 1...
متن کاملParticle motion and gravitational lensing in the metric of a dilaton black hole in a de Sitter universe
We consider the metric exterior to a charged dilaton black hole in a de Sitter universe. We study the motion of a test particle in this metric. Conserved quantities are identified and the HamiltonJacobi method is employed for the solutions of the equations of motion. At large distances from the black hole the Hubble expansion of the universe modifies the effective potential such that bound orbi...
متن کاملExtreme gravitational lensing by supermassive black holes
— Extreme gravitational lensing refers to the bending of photon trajectories that pass very close to supermassive black holes and that cannot be described in the conventional weak deflection limit. A complete analytical description of the whole expected phenomenology has been achieved in the recent years using the strong deflection limit. These progresses and possible directions for new investi...
متن کاملBraneworld Black Holes in Cosmology and Astrophysics
The braneworld description of our universe entails a large extra dimension and a fundamental scale of gravity that might be lower by several orders of magnitude compared to the Planck scale. An interesting consequence of the braneworld scenario is in the nature of spherically symmetric vacuum solutions to the brane gravitational field equations which could represent black holes with properties ...
متن کاملConnection between black-hole quasinormal modes and lensing in the strong deflection limit.
The purpose of the current Letter is to give some relations between gravitational lensing in the strong-deflection limit and the frequencies of the quasinormal modes of spherically symmetric, asymptotically flat black holes. On the one side, the relations obtained can give a physical interpretation of the strong-deflection limit parameters. On the other side, they also give an alternative metho...
