Thin accretion disk images of the black hole in symmergent gravity

TL;DR

This paper investigates the properties of thin accretion disks around black holes in symmergent gravity, analyzing their potential to serve as observational probes for this alternative gravity theory.

Contribution

It introduces a detailed analysis of accretion disk characteristics in symmergent gravity, including energy flux and temperature distribution, within the Novikov-Thorne model.

Findings

Bounds on symmergent gravity parameters established

Accretion disk properties differ from general relativity predictions

Potential for observational tests of symmergent gravity

Abstract

In this paper, we study circular orbits, effective potential, and thin-accretion disk of a black hole in symmergent gravity within the Novikov-Thorne model in a way including the energy flux and temperature distribution. We determine bounds on symmergent gravity parameters and conclude that the accretion disk could be used as an astrophysical tool to probe symmergent gravity.
