The shadow of a black hole can be one of the strong observational evidences for stationary black holes. If we see shadows at the center of galaxies, we would say whether the observed compact objects are black holes. In this paper, we consider a formula for the contour of a shadow in an asymptotically-flat, stationary, and axisymmetric black hole spacetime. We show that the formula is useful for obtaining the contour of the shadow of several black holes such as the Kerr-Newman black hole and rotating regular black holes. Using the formula, we can obtain new examples of the contour of the shadow of rotating black holes if assumptions are satisfied.

  1. Constraints and Consistency of Rotating Regular Black Hole Thermodynamics

    gr-qc 2026-01 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    For rotating regular black holes, the thermodynamic Hawking temperature is order-dependent under the regularity constraint; only computing in the full phase space before imposing the constraint reproduces the geometri...

  2. Optical Characteristics of the Kerr-Bertotti-Robinson Black Hole

    gr-qc 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For the Kerr-Bertotti-Robinson black hole, the magnetic field mainly enlarges the shadow and Einstein ring while rotation mainly distorts the shadow shape, and current M87* and Sgr A* data give only weak bounds on the field.

  3. Shadow of the generalized Vaidya black hole

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    For self-similar Husain black holes, the barotropic index α controls the shadow: α<1/2 enlarges it, α>1/2 shrinks it, with a quasistatic influx criterion for the time-dependent case.

  4. Internal structure of Hayward black holes

    gr-qc 2025-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In Hayward regular black holes, a sufficiently strong scalar-field perturbation collapses the inner horizon and forms a spacelike singularity, with the horizon radius obeying a universal |p-p*|^{0.5} scaling near the ...

  5. Spherical photon orbits around the Kerr-like black hole in Einstein-Bumblebee gravity

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In Einstein-Bumblebee Kerr-like spacetimes, spherical photon orbits are governed by a sixth-order polynomial whose roots and critical inclination angle depend on the Lorentz-violation parameter.

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Simulations of accreting black holes in standard and complex spacetimes indicate that magnetic geometry, quantum corrections, and binary dynamics influence flares, precession, photon rings, and multi-wavelength variab...

  7. Quasinormal Modes of Schwarzschild Black Holes in the Dehnen-(1, 4, 5/2) Type Dark Matter Halos

    gr-qc 2025-05 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    Quasinormal mode frequencies of a Schwarzschild black hole in a Dehnen-(1,4,5/2) dark matter halo are computed and found to decrease as halo density or core radius increases, with stability preserved.
