Shadow, Emission, and Strong-Field Lensing of Dilatonic Black Holes

Abstract

We study the shadow and strong-field optical properties of a static, spherically symmetric dyon-like dilatonic black hole. The photon sphere radius, critical impact parameter, and shadow radius are obtained and analyzed in terms of the charge Q and the dilatonic coupling parameter a. We show that increasing these parameters decreases the photon sphere and shadow radii, leading to a smaller apparent shadow. The predicted angular diameter is compared with the observational data for M87* and SgrA*. We explicitly show that the Sgr A* data do not constrain the model parameters, whereas the results for M87* depend on the adopted mass estimates from stellar and gas dynamics. We also estimate the high-frequency energy emission rate in the geometric-optics approximation and derive the leading Bozza coefficient a̅, which characterizes the logarithmic behavior of the deflection angle in the strong-field regime. Astrophysical implication of the obtained outcomes are discussed.
