abstract

In the Einstein-bumblebee gravity, the Lorentz symmetry is spontaneously broken by a vector field. In this paper, we attempt to test the Lorentz symmetry via the observation of the shadow cast by the Kerr-like black hole with or without plasma. A novel phenomenon of the Lorentz-violating parameter on the shadow is observed. The result shows that when the observer gradually moves from the poles to the equatorial plane, the shadow radius $R_{\rm s}$ firstly decreases and then increases with the Lorentz-violating parameter. Such nonmonotonic behavior provides us an important understanding on the black hole shadow in the Einstein-bumblebee gravity. Besides, three more distortion observables are calculated, and found to increase with the Lorentz-violating parameter. Moreover, when a homogeneous plasma is present, the motion of the photon is analyzed. We further observe that the refractive index shrinks the size, while enhances the deformation of the shadow. Finally, adopting the observed data of the diameter of M87$^*$, we find the refractive index is more favored in (0.914, 1).

  1. Signatures of Lorentz violation in bright ring for Sgr A* images by radiation ineffective accretion flows

    astro-ph.HE 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For a rotating Lorentz-violating black hole, increasing the LV parameter shrinks and broadens Sgr A*'s image ring, and EHT data bound the parameter over a spin-dependent range.

    gr-qc 2026-04 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Lorentz violation in a rotating bumblebee black hole suppresses Lense-Thirring precession, increases periastron precession, shrinks the inner shadow, and enhances the lensed ring while leaving the critical curve nearl...

  3. Boson Stars in Bumblebee Gravity and Their Gravitational Waveforms from Extreme-Mass-Ratio Inspirals

    gr-qc 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In bumblebee gravity, the Lorentz-violating parameter ℓ makes mini-boson stars more compact for positive ℓ and produces LISA-detectable, sustained EMRI waveforms for penetrating orbits.

  4. 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.

  5. Black hole shadow parameters and quasi-normal modes for Weyl-incorporated gravity

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    In WIG with a constant-density halo, shadow radii and test-field scalar QNMs are computed for mass-dependent λ values fitted to keep a horizon, showing mild GR deviations and long-lived damped modes.
