Black hole shadow to probe modified gravity


Abstract in English

We study the black holes shadow for Schwarzschild - de Sitter and Kerr - de Sitter metrics with the contribution of the cosmological constant Lambda. Based on the reported parameters of the M87* black hole shadow we obtain constraints for the $Lambda$ and show the agreement with the cosmological data. It is shown that, the coupling of the Lambda-term with the spin parameter reveals peculiarities for the photon spheres and hence for the shadows. Within the parametrized post-Newtonian formalism the constraint for the corresponding Lambda-determined parameter is obtained.
