Light from Reissner-Nordstrom-de Sitter black holes

Abstract

We derive for the first time the form of the spiral null geodesics around the photon sphere of the Reissner-Nordstrom black hole in the de Sitter expanding universe. Moreover, we obtain the principal parameter we need for deriving, according to our method [I. I. Cot\u aescu. {Eur. Phys. J. C.} (2021) 81:32], the black hole shadow and the related redshift as measured by a remote observer situated in the asymptotic zone. We obtain thus a criterion of detecting charged black holes without peculiar velocities when one knows the mass, redshift and the black hole shadow.
