Shadows in dyonic Kerr-Sen black holes

Black holes with dyonic charges in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton-axion supergravity theory are revisited in the context of black hole shadows. We consider static as well as rotating (namely the dyonic Kerr-Sen) black holes. The matter stress-energy tensor components, sourced by the Maxwell, axion and dilaton fields, satisfy the standard energy conditions. The analytical expressions for the horizon and the shadow radius of the static spacetimes demonstrate their dependence on

P^{2} + Q^{2}

(

P

,

Q

the magnetic and electric charges, respectively) and the mass parameter

M

. The shadow radius lies in the range

2 M < R_{shadow} < 3 \sqrt{3} M

and there is no stable photon orbit outside the horizon. Further, shadows cast by the rotating dyonic Kerr-Sen black holes are also studied and compared graphically with their Kerr-Newman and Kerr-Sen counterparts. Deviation of the shadow boundary is prominent with the variation of the magnetic charge, for the relatively slowly rotating dyonic Kerr-Sen spacetimes. We test any possible presence of a magnetic monopole charge in the backdrop of recent EHT observations for the supermassive black holes

{M 87}^{*}

and

Sgr A^{*}

. Deviation from circularity of the shadow boundary (

Δ C

) and deviation of the average shadow radius from the Schwarzschild shadow radius (quantified as the fractional deviation parameter

δ

) are the two observables used here. The observational bound on

Δ C

(available only for

{M 87}^{*}

) is satisfied for all theoretically allowed regions of parameter space and thus cannot constrain the parameters. The observational bound on

δ

available for

Sgr A^{*}

translates into an upper limit on any possible magnetic monopole charge linked to

Sgr A^{*}

and is given as

P ≲ 0.873 M

. Constraints on

P

obtained from other astrophysical effects are however expected to be far more stringent though rigorous analyses along these lines is lacking in the literature. In addition, future refined imaging (shadow) observations will surely help in improving the bound on

P

arrived at here.
