Geodesic analysis and black hole shadows on a general non--extremal rotating black hole in five--dimensional gauged supergravity

TL;DR

This paper investigates the paths of particles and the appearance of shadows cast by a general five-dimensional non-extremal rotating black hole in gauged supergravity, extending understanding of higher-dimensional black hole phenomenology.

Contribution

It provides a detailed geodesic and shadow analysis for a broad class of five-dimensional black holes, including the Chong-Cveti
0d-L"u-Pope solution, generalizing previous studies.

Findings

Characterization of geodesic structure in five-dimensional black holes

Analysis of black hole shadow shapes and sizes

Connection to higher-dimensional gravity theories

Abstract

In this work, motivated by the fact that higher-dimensional theories predict the existence of black holes which differ from their four-dimensional counterpart, we analyse the geodesics and black hole shadow cast by a general non-extremal five-dimensional black hole. The system under consideration corresponds to the Chong-Cveti\v{c}-L\"u-Pope (Phys. Rev.Lett.{\bf 95}, 161301 (2005)), which has the Myers--Perry black hole as a limit.
