| contents | Regular black hole metrics involve a universal, mass-independent regulator that can be up to O(700) km while remaining consistent with terrestrial tests of Newtonian gravity and astrophysical tests of general relativistic orbits. However, for such large values of the regulator scale, the metric describes a compact, astrophysical-mass object with no horizon rather than a black hole. We note that allowing the regulator to have a nontrivial mass dependence preserves the horizon, while allowing large, percent-level effects in black hole observables. By considering the deflection angle of light and the black hole shadow, we demonstrate this possibility explicitly. |
