Abstract
We investigate the orbit equations and the eikonal equation for light respectively, under influence of the hairy black holes (asymptotically flat) in four dimensions. We consider two hairy black hole solutions with non-trivial potentials, and one of these solutions has Schwarzschild case as a smooth limit. Following to Landau and Lifshitz, we use the Hamilton-Jacobi method, and we show hairy corrections for periapsis shift, where the effect of the hair is to increase it. In the same way, using the eikonal equation we show the deflection of the light and the relevant scalar hair corrections. Interestingly we find that the hair screening the gravitational field, decreasing the angle of deflection as the hair increases.

Abstract
We investigate the orbit equations and the eikonal equation for light respectively, under influence of the hairy black holes (asymptotically flat) in fourth dimensions. We consider two hairy black hole solutions with non-trivial potentials, and one of these solutions has Schwarzschild case as a smooth limit. Following to Landau and Lifshitz we use the Hamilton-Jacobi method, and we show hairy corrections for periapsis shift, where the effect of the hair is to increase it. In the same way, using the eikonal equation we show the deflection of the light and the relevant scalar hair corrections. Interestingly we find that the hair screening the gravitational field, decreasing the angle of deflection as the hair increases.
1 Introduction
The Hamilton-Jacobi formalism was applied in different gravity situations, for example in the context of AdS/CFT Maldacena:1997re it was used to find counterterms Martelli:2002sp ; Batrachenko:2004fd . On the other hand, the Hamilton-Jacobi equations of canonical gravity are the main tool in the derivation of renormalization group equations deBoer:2000cz ; Heemskerk:2010hk .
The scalar field has a fundamental structure in string theory, and the expectation value controls the string coupling constant . In high energy physics the scalar field is the Higgs particle Aad:2012tfa , and in Cosmology is the that describes cosmological perturbations observed in the experiments COBE, WMAP and Planck Spergel:2006hy ; Planck:2013jfk . In the context of AdS/CFT the scalar field is a source of the boundary operators111This depends on Dirichlet, Newmann or mix boundary conditions of the scalar field Anabalon:2015xvl ; Henneaux:2006hk .. Interestingly the hairy solutions studied here can be obtained from his asymptotically AdS solution. By suitably adjusting the cosmological constant or the scalar field potential so that the effective cosmological vanishes, one can obtain asymptotically flat black holes Anabalon:2013qua . We considered the boundary condition of a scalar field such that (at spatial infinity)222 In Gibbons:1996af ; Astefanesei:2006sy considered another interesting boundary condition in which the moduli have a non-trivial radial dependence, where the properties of these black holes depend on the values of moduli at spatial infinity.. In Anabalon:2013qua ; Anabalon:2012ih ; Gibbons:1987ps was constructed various exact and regular solutions of hairy black holes (charged) asymptotically flat, and AdS Anabalon:2012ta ; Anabalon:2012ih ; Anabalon:2012dw . Is important understanding that the hair (scalar field) lives behind horizon and boundary, and does not exist a conserved quantity associated with the scalar field. In Anabalon:2013qua ; Nunez:1996xv argument that the back-reaction ensure that the scalar field can over in a strong gravitational field without collapsing completely. In the present paper, we considered Einstein-dilaton theories minimally coupled and with non-trivial potentials, in Nunez:1996xv ; Anabalon:2012ih ; Anabalon:2012dw constructed hairy black holes in dilaton-charged gravity theories without scalar potential, in these cases the coupling of the dilaton with gauge fields ensures the existence of an effective potential. In the extremal case the near horizon data depend completely by the electric and magnetic charges and so the attractor mechanism Ferrara:1995ih ; Strominger:1996kf ; Ferrara:1996dd works like the no-hair theorem.
To describe the geodesics (and null geodesic) we need to consider two actions, one for the gravitational field which describes the geometric of space-time for a given distribution of matter . The another action gives us information about how the particles (of mass ) moves in that space-time and is given by
[TABLE]
where is the infinitesimal line universe . Taking the variation we get the geodesic equation
[TABLE]
but to describe the null geodesics () the before equation is not complete333That problem can solve easily, but we consider another option.. The Hamilton-Jacobi is a powerful method to obtain the orbit equations. Landau-Lifshitz showed that the Hamilton-Jacobi equation for a particle in any space-time is
[TABLE]
In literature there is an extensive bibliography about the study of the orbits of several black holes in different theories Frye:2013xia ; Cruz:2004ts ; Magnan:2007uw ; Cruz:2011yr ; Wells:2011st ; Hackmann:2008zz ; Olivares:2013zta . Recently was study Light propagation in a plasma on Kerr space-time using the Hamilton-Jacobi equation Perlick:2017fio , but in fourth dimensions is complicated find a rotated hairy black holes, although there are currently several solutions in three dimensions Correa:2012rc ; Natsuume:1999at .
For light trajectory (null geodesic) we consider the null module condition for four-vector wave . So, replacing we find eikonal equation in a gravitational field
[TABLE]
The present paper is structured as follows: In section 2, we consider a small review of Newtonian results and its corrections given by general relativity. In section 3, we present the two hairy solutions and its properties, in the section 4 we use the holographic stress tensor method to determine the mass of hairy black holes. Finally, in section 5, following to intuitive procedure of section 2, we calculate the periapsis shift and deflection of light for both hairy black holes, and in the final part, we present the conclusions.
2 Hamilton-Jacobi method in Schwarzschild
The Kepler problem in celestial mechanics consist in found and solve the orbit equations of stellar systems (two body system). Classically is solved (exactly) considering the Newtonian potential
[TABLE]
And we can be solved alternatively by Hamilton-Jacobi method. Considering the Lagrangian expression for a particle in the central field force (at the plane )
[TABLE]
The Hamilton-Jacobi equation is
[TABLE]
where the ansatz is and its solution is
[TABLE]
The trajectory is given by equation
[TABLE]
Where and the eccentricity is . Is easy to show that for elliptical orbit 444In this case we have and , .
[TABLE]
This is the angle that vector position tour when changed from to and return to 555Another interesting result is , where is the mass of the star, black hole or another big gravitational source. And is the length of the semi-major axis of the elliptical orbit.. The astronomical observations showed that perihelion of Mercury has deviations 666The closest point of the celestial object that orbits (closed orbit) another is known as , for a particular case of the solar system we use .. Exist different forms to deal with this problem, classically we can consider perturbations to Newtonian potential Landau ; LandauL ; Wells:2011st . Another option is to consider the corrections of general relativity. The usual method consist in to solve the geodesic equation Magnan:2007uw , but here we focus on the Hamilton-Jacobi method Vasudevan:2005js .
2.1 General relativistic corrections
In this section, we describe step by step the procedure proposed by Landau and Lifshitz Landau . This gives us a correct intuition when we face the hairy case. We will consider the very know Schwarzschild asymptotically flat solution, where the action is
[TABLE]
Here , and the last term is the Gibbons-Hawking boundary term. Where is the boundary metric and is the trace of the extrinsic curvature. The solution is
[TABLE]
where, and . Here is the gravitational mass. Considering geodesics in the plane . The Hamilton-Jacobi equation of the trajectory is
[TABLE]
The ansatz is , where the energy and mass of particle is , , and its angular momentum is . Replacing the expression in (13) we can solve
[TABLE]
The trajectory equation can be determined by , and is easy to show
[TABLE]
The classical limit given in (9) can be obtained considering , and . Here is the non-relativistic energy. To obtain the relevant corrections of general relativity we consider small velocities of the planets respect to light777For example, the star S2 that orbit to Sagittarius (super massive black hole) in the periapsis the velocity is five percent of the light velocity Schodel:2002vg ., this means . The angular change of closed orbits can be calculated in the similar form to (10)
[TABLE]
For that purpose, we need expand (14) and check the Newtonian term and its relativistic correction. Comparing part of (8) and (14) is easy concluded that we need to consider the change variable
[TABLE]
and introducing the non-relativistic energy . Expanding around keeping fix (regardless of the apostrophe) we have
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
We can see the fundamental correction to is given by the term , and this term can describe the periapsis shift of the orbit. We consider , and only expanding around keeping fix
[TABLE]
Considering the limits of integration , we have
[TABLE]
So 888You can see that (21) is the same expression given in (8).
[TABLE]
then, using (16) is easy to show the correction given for general relativity999For perihelion shift of Mercury this give and astronomical observations give .
[TABLE]
To determine the trajectory of light ray (null geodesics) we need the eikonal equation (4). This equation is similar to (13) with and , and in this case, instead of energy of the particle, we consider the light frequency , then
[TABLE]
From eikonal equation we have
[TABLE]
where is the impact parameter. One more time we need consider the before transformations given in (17)
[TABLE]
the equation for the trajectory of a light ray is , then
[TABLE]
the gravitational correction is given by , if we take the integral is . Namely a line that passing a distance from the origin, integrating (26) when
[TABLE]
The angle formed by the asymptotes of ray light that comes from a very great distance , approaches the nearest point and moves away a great distance , is . The relativistic corrections are given by
[TABLE]
and for that purpose we need expand (26) around (keeping constant )
[TABLE]
The term corresponds to the classical ray rectilinear in (26). The total changing of during propagation of the light, from one large distance at the point close to the center and back again to the distance is
[TABLE]
replacing in (29)
[TABLE]
taking the limit and remember that for the rectilinear ray, we obtain
[TABLE]
3 Hairy black hole solutions
We will consider two hairy solutions one of which is the smooth limit of the first when the hairy parameter . We are interested in asymptotically flat hairy black hole solutions with a spherical horizon Anabalon:2013sra ; Anabalon:2013eaa . The action is

where is the scalar potential, and is the boundary counterterm which we use for constructed the renormalized quasi-local stress tensor . The equations of motion for the dilaton and metric are
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
where the stress tensor of the scalar field is
[TABLE]
When we consider convex or positive semi-definite potential the no-hair theorems ensure that does not exist regular black holes solutions Israel:1967wq ; Bekenstein:1995un ; Sudarsky:1995zg . In Martinez:2006an ; Acena:2013jya ; Anabalon:2013sra ; Anabalon:2013qua ; Acena:2012mr ; Anabalon:2012dw they were able to relax some of those conditions and find a large (exact) family of hairy black holes. In the present article, we will work with following potentials, where and 101010In Anabalon:2013eaa ; DallAgata:2012mfj ; deWit:2013ija was showed that these scalar potentials (35), (36) for asymptotically-AdS space-times, fixing some particular values of the parameters it becomes the one of a truncation of -deformed gauged supergravity.

[TABLE]
Along the present paper, we centered in the negative branch: for which

The hairy parameter vary in the range 111111Since the potential and the solution is symmetric about , then the behavior is the same if we consider the range ., and in the limit one gets and so that the Schwarzschild black hole (asymptotically flat) is smoothly obtained.
There are two distinct branches, one that corresponds to and the other one to — the curvature singularities are at for the first branch and for the second one (these are the locations where the scalar field is also blowing up). Considering the change of coordinates121212For the negative branch . The procedure for obtaining the coordinate transformation (41) can be found in Anabalon:2015xvl .

3.2 Black hole solution
In Anabalon:2013qua , was studied the following solution, but here we consider the neutral case.
One more time, considering the action (34) with scalar potential (36) and the metric ansatz

Where is the parameter that characterizes the hairy solution. With this choice of the conformal factor is straightforward to obtain the expressions for the scalar field
[TABLE]
and the metric function
[TABLE]
At the boundary is blowing-up, this correspond to . The theory has a standard flat vacuum . There are two distinct branches, one that corresponds to and the other one to — the curvature singularities are at for the first branch and for the second one (these are the locations where the scalar field is also blowing up). But the difference with the before hairy solution is that does not exist a hairy parameter, and we can not obtain the Schwarzschild case.
Here, is the constant of integration and considering the horizon equation we can solve it

Considering the following asymptotic coordinate transformation131313For the negative branch.

[TABLE]
then , and the mass of the hairy black hole is
[TABLE]
In the next section (4) we verified that this is the gravitational mass of the black hole
4 Mass of hairy black holes

5 Hamilton-Jacobi method
In this section, we use the Hamilton-Jacobi method to obtain the correction to periapsis shift and deflection of light by hairy solutions given in (3.1) and (3.2). We considered the intuitive procedure given in the section (2.1)
5.1 Corrections of hairy solution
We study the geodesics and null geodesic of the metric given in (37). Setting , we have
[TABLE]
The Hamilton-Jacobi equation for geodesic of some celestial body of mass , that orbit around a hairy black hole is
[TABLE]
The ansatz and its solution is
[TABLE]
Considering the coordinate transformation (41) and similar to Schwarzschild case we need consider and , then
[TABLE]
We can write like when
[TABLE]
Where the expressions for , was given in (19). The new term depend on hairy parameter and constant integration . We can show that give a hairy correction to periapsis. For this purpose, we need expand (67) around (keeping fix ) and ,
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
And is easily to show,
[TABLE]
when , we have , e.i. the Schwarzschild case given in (23). Where the orbital parameter is the semi-major axis.151515According to astronomical observations Eisenhauer:2005cv ; Ghez:2003qj , nine stars are currently known that orbit around of Sagittarius , including , , . And its semi-major axis oscillate between . The astronomical unit or radius of Earth’s orbit, and it is equivalent to .
According to Ghez:1998ph ; Ghez:2003qj ; Schodel:2002vg we can show , where is the mass of Sagittarius , then . If we consider the horizon equation and solve , we can write the hairy correction as a function
Similar to Schwarzschild case, we can construct the eikonal equation, whose solution is
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
The equation of light trajectory is given by161616Is easy to show that the Schwarzschild case () given in (27) can be obtained when
(73)
[TABLE]
We need to consider the hairy-gravity corrections, considering one more time the coordinate transformations given in (66) we can show
[TABLE]
where the impact parameter has a new hairy correction
[TABLE]
Now, expanding around , keeping fix
[TABLE]
In the first term of the expansion of we have , this is because if we consider the horizon equation we have , and you can prove that for () we have large, then . But for the second term we have only , from which is relevant. This is precisely the relevant hairy correction
[TABLE]
when
[TABLE]
And one more time when we obtain the Schwarzschild171717For a ray of light passing near the edge of the sun we obtain . case giving in (33). Using the horizon equation we have
[TABLE]
To graph vs , we consider like multiples of (sun radius). For example the stars early-B hyper-giants (BHGs), has radios in the range of Clark:2012ne . The figures in (3) show that the scalar field (hair) screening the effect of gravitational field, causing the deviation of light to be smaller respect to Schwarzschild case ()
5.2 Corrections of hairy solution
We study the geodesics and null geodesics of the metric given in (44). Setting , we have
[TABLE]
The Hamilton-Jacobi equation is
[TABLE]
the ansatz , and the solution for is
[TABLE]
Considering the coordinate transformation (49), and in a similar form to Schwarzschild case, we need to consider and , then, we can write like when
[TABLE]
Where the expressions for , was given in (19). The new term depend on constant integration . We show that give a hairy correction to periapsis shift. For these purpose we need expand (84) around (keeping fix ) and , . And we have,
[TABLE]
where the orbital parameter is the semi-major axis181818Here we use the horizon equation given in (48).,
[TABLE]
In this case, there are not a hairy parameter such that , the unique form to obtain is when , but according to (40) and (47), these case correspond to a naked singularity. Even if we consider black holes asymptotically AdS 191919The hairy black holes (asymptotically AdS) constructed in Anabalon:2012dw ; Anabalon:2013qua ; Acena:2012mr ; Acena:2013jya , has more general scalar potentials which consist of two parts , where is the cosmological constant, and when has a new interesting interpretations, like domain wall. Where its structure is ensured for the existence of potential Anabalon:2013eaa ., the special case is a naked singularity. Is clear that has an important role to existence of regular horizon. The condition ensure the existence of scalar potentials given in (35), (36), and this means that if , there are not self-interaction of the scalar field that ensures its stability and at the same time, we have a naked singularity.
To describe the light trajectory we use the eikonal equation. The ansatz is , and the solution for is
[TABLE]
The equation of light trajectory is given by
[TABLE]
But in here, we can not obtain the Schwarzschild as a smooth limit. To get the hairy-gravity corrections, we need to consider one more time the coordinate transformations given in (49) we can show, for
[TABLE]
where the impact parameter has a new hairy term
[TABLE]
Now, expanding around , keeping fix , we have
[TABLE]
In the first term of the expansion of we have , this is because if we consider given in (48), you can prove that for () we have large, then . But for the second term, we have only , from which is not small enough. This is precisely the relevant hairy correction. Working in the same way as in the previous section, we can show that
[TABLE]
6 Conclusions
Sagittarius is a stellar system located in the center of our galaxy, it consists of a supermassive black hole, where until now the orbits of nine stars were studied Eisenhauer:2005cv ; Ghez:2003qj ; Ghez:1998ph ; Schodel:2002vg ; Clark:2012ne . This black hole has a disk accretion, and there are indications that dark matter influences the gravitational dynamics of these stars Ghez:1998ph . In 2004, source IRS 13 black hole was discovered (and other stars that orbit it) that orbit around of Sagittarius . The principal idea of the present paper is that these hairy solutions (3.1) and (3.2) could be an effective model to describe a more complicated gravitational system. Our idea is to consider this gravitational system (for example Sagittarius ) as a black hole with scalar hair, specially the solution (3.1) has a hairy parameter , it can be adjusted in such a way as to describe for example the Sagittarius . We propose (like an elemental model) to use the results for periapsis shift given in (70), (85), and made astronomical observations to the stars that orbit Sagittarius 202020There is no concrete evidence of the rotation Sagittarius but in general, all observed the black holes rotate. We consider the hairy black hole as a simple static model of the stationary system of Sagittarius , assuming that its rotation is slow enough., estimate its shift periapsis and thereby set the parameter of hair (and ). In a similar form maybe is possible use the equation for deflection of light given in (80), (92). An interesting future direction is, study and classify the different orbits of these hairy black holes.
