EHT and mimetic gravity paper accepted in Scientific Reports!

My paper with Mohsen Khodadi and Javad Firouzjaee, where we show that the EHT observations of M87* and Sgr A* rule out the baseline version of mimetic gravity (see this earlier news item), has been accepted for publication in Scientific Reports, part of the Nature Portfolio collection of journals (therefore making this my second proper Nature publication)! The most significant addition compared to the earlier version is a new figure with examples of null geodesics in the space-times we studied, which shows in a very clear way why their shadow properties are pathological. You can read the preprint version of the paper on arXiv: 2408.03241.
