Shadow and stability of quantum-corrected black holes

Recently the quantum Oppenheimer–Snyder gravitational collapse model has been proposed in loop quantum gravity, providing quantum-corrected Schwarzschild spacetimes as the exterior of the collapsing dust ball. In this paper, the quantum gravity effects on the black hole shadows in this model are studied, and the stability of the quantum-corrected black holes is also analyzed by calculating the quasinormal modes. It turns out that the quantum correction always shrinks the radius of shadows, and the quantum-corrected black holes are stable against the scalar and vector perturbations.
