Abstract
By considering Kehagias–Sfetsos black hole in the framework of the Hořava–Lifshitz gravity, we study the optical appearance of such black holes surrounded by spherical accretion flow. For the static/infalling spherical accretion flow, we compute the observed specific intensity as a function of impact parameter. We also investigate the effect of the Hořava parameter and accreting matter on the luminosity of shadows and photon rings. It is found that an increase in the Hořava parameter decreases the shadow size, while the shadows and photon rings luminosities increase. Moreover, we constrain the Hořava parameter from the observational data reported by the Event Horizon Telescope for M87* and Sgr A*.
