Phys. Rev. D 71, 064004 (2005) [8 pages]Strong gravitational lensing by braneworld black holesReceived 16 December 2004; published 3 March 2005 In this paper, we use the strong field limit approach to investigate the gravitational lensing properties of braneworld black holes. Applying this method to the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, the lensing observables for some candidate braneworld black hole metrics are compared with those for the standard Schwarzschild case. It is found that braneworld black holes could have significantly different observational signatures to the Schwarzschild black hole. © 2005 The American Physical Society URL:
