Observing the shadow of modified gravity black hole

A study of the shadow cast by rotating black holes in different models of modified gravity is presented. It is shown that the size of the shadow cast depends on the modified gravity model used. The distortions of the shadow cast by modified gravity black holes are investigated and the effects are compared with the distortions cast by Kerr black hole. The shadow of a rotating black hole in modified gravity is found to be similar to the shadow cast by Kerr black hole but with different sizes and distortion effects. The naked singularity by rotating modified gravity black hole is discussed. Finally, it is shown that some modified gravity models can present a considerable contribution to the size of black hole shadow.
