| contents | We determine the corrections to the Schwarzschild geometry arising from including the Goroff- Sagnotti counterterm in the gravitational dynamics. We find that static, asymptotically flat, and spherically symmetric geometries are completely characterized by their asymptotic mass and the coupling associated with the counterterm. The latter induces distinct corrections at sixth order of the parameterized post-Newtonian expansion. The resulting spacetime geometries still exhibit an event horizon. In the parameter space accessible to numerical integration, the horizon area is smaller than its Schwarzschild counterpart, leading to an increase in the Hawking temperature. Corrections to the shadow size can be determined analytically and are used to give a first bound on the new coupling. While it is difficult to access the geometry inside of the event horizon, our analysis also provides evidence that the counterterm could resolve the curvature singularity appearing in the Schwarzschild geometry. |
