Geodetic precession and shadow of quantum extended black holes
R. Saadati, Fatimah Shojai
Abstract
Abstract We study the circular motion of massive and massless particles in a recently proposed quantum-corrected Schwarzschild black hole in loop quantum gravity. This solution is supposed to introduce small but non-zero quantum corrections in the low curvature limit. In this paper, we confine our attention to the shadow of the black hole and the geodetic precession (GP) of a freely falling gyroscope in a circular orbit. Despite the mathematical complexity of the metric, our results are exact and show that the black hole shadow decreases slightly in this solution while the quantum corrections introduce a non-trivial term in the GP frequency of the gyroscope.
