abstract

In this paper we propose to use Shapiro time delay as a tool to distinguish between different black hole solutions. We calculate the analytic Shapiro time, using first-order expansions, for four solutions. They are Schwarzschild, Reissner-Nordstr\"o{}m, Bardeen, and Ay\'on-Beato and Garc\'ia. We created a numerical experiment, based on measurements made in the solar system, consisting of the round trip path of light passing through a black hole at the center. We obtained different delay times varying between the order of $10^{-4}$s and $10^{-6}$s, for a stellar black hole; and variations of the order of hours, for a supermassive one. Considering that the accuracy currently achieved in measurements made in the solar system are on the order of $10^{-12}$s, we believe that this mechanism could be used in black hole model determination in the near future.

    For ModMax black holes, Shapiro time delay and gravitational redshift are identical for both photon polarizations, while Sagnac and kinematic shifts distinguish them; S2 precession bounds e^-gamma (Q/2M)^2 <= 0.135.
