Abstract The problem of bending and scattering of light rays passing outside the entrance of a wormhole with zero gravitational mass is considered. The process of ray capture by a wormhole, as well as the formation process of a shadow when illuminated by a standard screen, is investigated. These mechanisms are also compared to the case of light ray motion in the vicinity of the Schwarzschild black hole.

This paper is devoted to studying two interesting issues of a black hole with string cloud background. Firstly, we investigate null geodesics and find unstable orbital motion of particles. Secondly, we calculate deflection angle in strong field limit. We then find positions, magnifications, and observables of relativistic images for supermassive black hole at the galactic center. We conclude that string parameter highly affects the lensing process and results turn out to be quite different from the Schwarzschild black hole.

AbstractWeak and strong deflection gravitational lensing by a renormalization group improved Schwarzschild black hole is investigated and its observables are found. By taking the supermassive black holes Sgr A* and M87* respectively in the Galactic Center and at the center of M87 as lenses, we estimate these observables and analyse possibility of detecting this quantum improvement. It is not feasible to distinguish such a black hole by most observables in the near future except for the apparent size of the shadow. We also note that directly using measured shadow of M87* to constrain this quantum effect requires great care.

Black holes have the ability to generate infinite number of images of any given source. These relativistic images are formed by light rays winding around the black hole several times. The phenomenology associated with these images is very rich, since these features are very sensitive to the metric structure of the black hole. Here, we review some aspects of gravitational lensing by black holes and consider some fundamental aspects related to alternative solutions, which do not reproduce Schwarzschild in the asymptotic limit and are supported by exotic matter.

We study two interesting features of a black hole with an ordinary as well as phantom global monopole. Firstly, we investigate null geodesics which imply unstable orbital motion of particles for both cases. Secondly, we evaluate deflection angle in strong field regime. We then find Einstein rings, magnifications, and observables of the relativistic images for supermassive black hole at the center of galaxy NGC4486B. We also examine time delays for different galaxies and present our results numerically. It is found that the deflection angle for ordinary/phantom global monopole is greater/smaller than that of Schwarzschild black hole. In strong field limit, the remaining properties of these black holes are quite different from the Schwarzschild black hole.
