The Shadow of Charged Traversable Wormholes

We compute the shadow cast by a charged Morris-Thorne wormhole when the light source is a star located beyond the mouth which is opposite to the observer. First, we provide an extensive analysis of the geodesic properties of the spacetime, both for null and massive particles. The geometrical propert...

Description
Summary:We compute the shadow cast by a charged Morris-Thorne wormhole when the light source is a star located beyond the mouth which is opposite to the observer. First, we provide an extensive analysis of the geodesic properties of the spacetime, both for null and massive particles. The geometrical properties of this solution are such that independently of the viewing angle, some light rays always reach the observer. Additionally, the structure of the images is preserved among the different values of the charge and scales proportionally to the charge value.
