Photon sphere for a dyonic black hole corresponding to $A_2$ Toda chain
Abstract
We consider a dilatonic dyon black hole solution with a gravitational radius of $2 μ$ and two charges, $Q_1$ (electric) and $Q_2$ (magnetic), within the framework of a four-dimensional gravitational model comprising one scalar field and one 2-form. The dilaton coupling constant $λ$ is fixed by $λ^2 = \frac{3}{2}$. This solution is related to the $A_2$ Toda chain. The circular orbits of null geodesics are explored, and the fifth-order polynomial master equation governing the photon sphere radius $R_0$ is analyzed. It is shown to admit a unique solution satisfying $R_0 > 2 μ$. The circular null geodesics are proven to be unstable. Finally, the black hole shadow is examined, yielding relations for the shadow angle and the critical impact parameter.
