Probing a one-loop quantum-corrected Schwarzschild spacetime with precessing and periodic motion

Abstract We investigate the bound orbits of a test timelike particle around the Schwarzschild spacetime with one-loop quantum correction in this work. After obtaining the marginally bound orbit and innermost stable circular orbit numerically, we find that both of their radii decrease with the rescal...

description Abstract We investigate the bound orbits of a test timelike particle around the Schwarzschild spacetime with one-loop quantum correction in this work. After obtaining the marginally bound orbit and innermost stable circular orbit numerically, we find that both of their radii decrease with the rescaled quantum-corrected parameter $$\lambda .$$ λ . Then, we scrutinize the precessing orbits and work out the resulting relativistic periastron advance, which descends with the increment of the one-loop long-distance quantum-corrected effect and could depart from the one in the Schwarzschild spacetime slightly. Based on that, we try to constrain the quantum-corrected effect around the Sgr A* by employing the observation of GRAVITY on S2 star and find a preliminary bound on it. Moreover, we examine the periodic orbits in this spacetime and find that they lay out a distinct pattern from the one in the Schwarzschild spacetime due to the quantum-corrected parameter $$\lambda ,$$ λ , which may give an insight into the quantum effect of the spacetime in the strong gravitational field.
