Are Galactic Clusters Hypermassive Spherically Symmetric Black Holes? A. F. Zakharov Physics of Particles and Nuclei Letters, 2026 Abstract The possibility of estimating the parameters of alternative gravity theories from observations of galactic cluster “turnaround points” has been discussed in a recent publication. It was assumed that the gravitational field of a galactic cluster in the standard version of general relativity is described by the Schwarzschild-de Sitter metric. The authors of this paper asserted that they had obtained estimates of the parameters of alternative gravity theories from observations of galactic clusters, but no comparison of the theory with observations was made in the paper, and the authors assumed that the theoretical description of turning points in GR and the alternative theories under consideration should be similar. In this study, we conclude that theoretical models such as static spherical black holes can hardly be used to obtain constraints on the parameters of alternative gravity theories by analyzing the differences in the turning radii in these theories and GR, based on observations of galactic clusters.
Shadows and Circular Photon Orbits: Consideration of Some Cases of Generalizations of Kerr–Newman Black Holes A. F. Zakharov Physics of Particles and Nuclei Letters, 2025 Abstract In our paper published in 2005, it was predicted that the shadow near the Galactic Center (GC) black hole could be reconstructed from results of observations of the global VLBI system operating in the millimeter or submillimeter range. This prediction became reality in 2022, when shadows near black holes in the GC and the center of the galaxy M87 (in 2019) were reconstructed from data of observations of the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration, and these results led to the appearance of a large number of theoretical papers that considered constraints on both alternative models of galactic centers and alternative theories of gravity. For Schwarzschild, Kerr, and Reissner–Nordström black holes, the impact parameters corresponding to circular photon orbits determine the shadow shape and size; however, as was shown in the abovementioned paper, in the cases of some metrics, the existence of circular photon orbits is possible, though shadows for these metrics are not formed. A number of recent papers (including one published in the journal PEPAN Letters) have put forth, without evidence, alternative models of galactic centers in which parameters corresponding to circular photon orbits determine the shadow shape and size.
Shadows of Galactic Centers: from Supermassive Black Holes to Naked Singularities and Wormholes A. F. Zakharov Physics of Particles and Nuclei, 2025 The appearance of a shadow (a dark spot in the vicinity of a black hole) was first considered in a thought experiment by James Bardeen in 1973. However, he did not discuss the possibility of astronomical observations of the shadow, since its size was too small for all known estimates of black hole masses and distances to them. In addition, Bardeen’s assumption of a luminous screen behind the black hole seemed unrealistic. In 2005, we predicted that if we observe a supermassive black hole in the Galactic Center in the mm- or submillimeter range, we will be able to detect a dark spot (shadow) with a size (diameter) of approximately 50 angular µs (µas) (since, as indicated in the text of the cited paper, $${{r}_{{\text{g}}}} = 10$$ µas for the black hole in the Galactic Center, while the size of the shadow is $${{(27)}^{{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-0em} 2}}}}{{r}_{{\text{g}}}}$$ ). This prediction was confirmed in 2022 after processing the observations of the Galactic Center obtained by the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration (the corresponding observations were conducted in 2017). Previously, we obtained analytical relationships for the size of the shadow both for the Reissner—Nordström black holes with an electric charge and with a tidal charge, which can arise due to the presence of an additional dimension. Thus, it proves to be possible to limit the charges (including tidal ones) for Sgr A* and М87* based on the shadow sizes obtained from observations in the vicinity of these objects. The issues concerning the presence of shadows in the vicinity of naked singularities and wormholes are discussed.
Galactic Center Shadows: Beyond the Standard Model A. F. Zakharov Physics of Atomic Nuclei, 2025 In 2005 Zakharov et al. predicted an opportunity to reconstruct a shadow in Sgr A* with ground based or space—ground interferometer acting in mm or sub-mm band (the Millimetron was mentioned for such needs). The prediction was confirmed in May 2022 since the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration presented results of a shadow reconstruction for our Galactic Center (the shadow around the supermassive black hole in M87 was reconstructed in 2019). These reconstructions were based on EHT observations done in 2017. In 2005 Zakharov et al. also derived analytical expressions for shadow size as a function of charge for Reissner–Nordström metric and later these results were generalized for a tidal charge case. We discuss opportunities to evaluate parameters of alternative theories of gravity with shadow size estimates done by the EHT Collaboration, in particular, a tidal charge could be estimated from these observations. We also discuss opportunities to use Millimetron facilities for shadow reconstructions in M87* and Sgr A*. In our recent studies we discuss shadow formations for cases where naked singularities, wormholes or more exotic models substitute conventional black holes in galactic centers.
Black Hole Shadows As New Tests of General Relativity A. F. Zakharov Moscow University Physics Bulletin, 2024 Abstract Despite the fact that several alternative theories of gravity have been proposed, (many of them have been suggested in the recent years) the general relativity (GR), created more than 100 years ago, is still the best theory of gravity. Due to the great technological progress of observational and experimental facilities currently there are opportunities to test gravity theories in a strong gravitational field limit. In 2005 we proposed to use a shadow near the black hole at the Galactic Center (GC) as a GR test. We predicted also that the shadow can be reconstructed from observations of bright structures near the black hole. Our prediction concerning the shadow near the black hole at the Galactic Center has been confirmed, since in 2022 the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration reconstructed the shadow from EHT observations done in April 2017.
Astrophysical Tests of General Relativity A. F. Zakharov Physics of Particles and Nuclei, 2024 At the initial stage of its development, general relativity (GR) was verified and confirmed in a weak gravitational field limit. However, with the development of astronomical observation technologies, GR predictions in a strong gravitational field began to be discussed and confirmed, such as the profile of the X-ray iron $$K\\alpha $$ line (in the case if the emission region is very close to the event horizon), the trajectories of stars near black holes and the shapes and sizes of shadows of supermassive black holes in M87* and Sgr A*. In 2005 it was predicted that a shadow formed near a supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center could be reconstructed from observations of ground based global VLBI system or ground—space interferometer acting in mm or sub-mm bands. In 2022 this prediction was confirmed since the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration reported about a shadow reconstructions for Sgr A*. In 2019 the EHT collaboration presented the first image reconstruction around the shadow for the supermassive black hole in M87. In 2021 the EHT collaboration constrained parameters (“charges”) of spherical symmetrical metrics of black holes from an allowed interval for shadow radius. In 2022 the EHT collaboration constrained charges of metrics for the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center. Earlier, we obtained analytical expressions for the shadow radius as a function of charge (including a tidal one) in the case of Reissner–Nordström metric. Based on results of the shadow size evaluation for M87* done by the EHT collaboration we constrained a tidal charge. We discussed opportunities to use shadows to test alternative theories of gravity and alternative models for galactic centers.
Neutron Stars and Black Holes as Natural Laboratories of Fundamental Physics A. F. Zakharov Physics of Particles and Nuclei, 2024 Abstract The statistics of particles with half-integer spin was constructed in 1926 in the works of E. Fermi and P. A. M. Dirac. Soon after, it was realized that these statistics are extremely important for building a theory of such compact objects as white dwarfs. In this case, there is a limit to the mass of such objects, which is called the Chandrasekhar’s limit. The neutron was discovered by Chadwick in 1932, and already in 1933 Baade and Zwicky suggested that there are neutron stars that arise as a result of supernova explosions and the collapse of a massive core. Pulsars were discovered in 1968 and it was soon realized that pulsars are neutron stars with giant magnetic fields. Binary neutron stars (both in the binary pulsar system and in the kilonova explosion event GW170817) played a key role in the detection of gravitational radiation predicted by general relativity. In 1963, quasars were discovered—fairly compact objects with a gigantic energy release and located at a cosmological distance. It was soon realized that the most natural model of quasars involved a supermassive black hole. Observations of the motions of bright stars in the vicinity of the Galactic center and reconstruction of shadows in the center of the M87 galaxy and the center of our Galaxy based on observations of synchrotron radiation at a wavelength of 1.3 mm provide additional confirmation of the presence of supermassive black holes in the centers of these galaxies.
New tests of general relativity Alexander Zakharov Proceedings of Science, 2024 General relativity (GR) was tested in many experiments and observations and always its predictions were confirmed. However, in a majority of tests GR was checked and confirmed in a weak gravitational field regime. In 2005 it was predicted that a shadow formed near a supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center could be reconstructed from observations of ground based global VLBI system or ground – space interferometer acting in mm or sub-mm bands. In 2022 the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration reconstructed the shadow for the black hole at the Galactic Center (GC), therefore our prediction was confirmed. In 2019 the EHT collaboration presented the first image reconstruction around the shadow for the supermassive black hole in M87*. In 2021 the EHT collaboration constrained parameters (“charges”) of spherical symmetrical metrics of black holes from an allowed interval for shadow radius. Earlier, we obtained analytical expressions for the shadow radius as a function of charge (including a tidal one) in the case of Reissner–Nordström metric. Based on results of the shadow size evaluation for M87* done by the EHT team we constrain a tidal charge. Similarly we constrained a tidal charge for the black hole at the Galactic Center based on shadow reconstruction done by the EHT collaboration in 2022. We discussed opportunities to use shadows to test alternative theories of gravity and alternative theories for galactic centers. We used also observational data for trajectories of bright stars near the Galactic Center to test gravity theories and theoretical models for the Galactic Center.
Constraints on Graviton Mass from Schwarzschild Precession in the Orbits of S-Stars around the Galactic Center Predrag Jovanović, Vesna Borka Jovanović, Duško Borka, Alexander F. Zakharov Symmetry, 2024 In this paper we use a modification of the Newtonian gravitational potential with a non-linear Yukawa-like correction, as it was proposed by C. Will earlier to obtain new bounds on graviton mass from the observed orbits of S-stars around the Galactic Center (GC). This phenomenological potential differs from the gravitational potential obtained in the weak field limit of Yukawa gravity, which we used in our previous studies. We also assumed that the orbital precession of S-stars is close to the prediction of General Relativity (GR) for Schwarzschild precession, but with a possible small discrepancy from it. This assumption is motivated by the fact that the GRAVITY Collaboration in 2020 and in 2022 detected Schwarzschild precession in the S2 star orbit around the Supermassive Black Hole (SMBH) at the GC. Using this approach, we were able to constrain parameter λ of the potential and, assuming that it represents the graviton Compton wavelength, we also found the corresponding upper bound of graviton mass. The obtained results were then compared with our previous estimates, as well as with the estimates of other authors.
Improvement of graviton mass constraints using GRAVITY's detection of Schwarzschild precession in the orbit of S2 star around the Galactic Center Predrag Jovanović, Vesna Borka Jovanović, Duško Borka, Alexander F. Zakharov Physical Review D, 2024 Here we study possible improvements of the existing constraints on the upper bound of graviton mass by the analysis of the stellar orbits around the SMBH at the GC in the framework of Yukawa gravity. A motivation for this study is a recent detection of Schwarzschild precession in the orbit of S2 star around the SMBH at the GC by the GRAVITY Collaboration. The authors indicated that the orbital precession of the S2 star is close to the General Relativity (GR) prediction, but with possible small deviation from it, and parametrized this effect by introducing an ad hoc factor in the parametrized PPN equations of motion. Here we use the value of this factor presented by GRAVITY in order to perform two-body simulations of the stellar orbits in massive gravity using equations of motion in the modified PPN formalism, as well as to constrain the range of massive interaction $\\Lambda$. From the obtained values of $\\Lambda$, and assuming that it corresponds to the Compton wavelength of graviton, we then calculated new estimates for the upper bound of graviton mass which are found to be independent, but consistent with the LIGO's estimate of graviton mass from the first GW signal GW150914 (later this graviton mass estimation was significantly improved with consequent observations of GW events). We also performed calculations including numerical simulations in order to constrain the bounds on graviton mass in the case of a small deviation of the stellar orbits from the corresponding GR predictions and showed that our method could further improve previous estimates for upper bounds on the graviton mass. It is also demonstrated that such analysis of the observed orbits of S-stars around the GC in the frame of the Yukawa gravity represents a tool for constraining the upper bound for the graviton mass, as well as for probing the predictions of GR or other gravity theories.
