We investigate retrolensing by two photon spheres in a novel black-bounce spacetime suggested by Lobo et al. which can correspond to a Schwarzschild black hole, a regular black hole, and a traversable wormhole including an Ellis-Bronnikov wormhole. In a case, the wormhole has a throat which acts as a photon sphere and it has another photon sphere outside of the throat. With the sun as a light source, an observer, and the wormhole are lined up in this order, sunlight reflected slightly outside of the throat and barely outside and inside of the outer photon sphere can reach the observer. We show that the light rays reflected by the outer photon sphere are dominant in retrolensing light curves in the case.

  1. Strong field gravitational lensing of particles by a black-bounce-Schwarzschild black hole

    gr-qc 2026-02 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    For a black-bounce-Schwarzschild black hole, the paper derives the strong-deflection lensing observables for massive particles and quantifies how they differ from photon lensing.

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A new family of black bounce and wormhole solutions in general relativity is constructed from a canonical scalar field non-minimally coupled to linear electrodynamics, with the required energy-condition violation conf...

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    In Einstein-nonlinear electrodynamic black holes, each effective potential peak that is taller than all peaks outside it yields a separate photon ring cluster in the lensed image, and triple-peak cases show three nest...
