We revisit the shadow of rotating traversable wormholes discussing the role of the wormhole throat in the shadow formation. For certain classes of wormholes the throat serves as a potential barrier for light rays with particular impact parameters, thus modifying the shadow shape. We consider a couple of wormhole solutions and examine the structure of their shadow images, and the intrinsic mechanisms for their formation. Some of the shadows possess cuspy edges, which arise due to the interplay of two distinct families of unstable spherical orbits. These solutions provide examples, in which the explicit mechanism for cusp formation can be uncovered.

  1. Gravity/thermodynamics correspondence via black hole shadows

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Cuspy black hole shadows correspond to swallowtail thermodynamic free energy, with boundary self-intersections marking geometric phase transitions whose critical exponents fall in the mean-field class.

  2. On the Cuspy Structure of Rotating Wormhole Shadows

    gr-qc 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Rotating wormhole shadows develop cusps above a universal critical redshift value λ_c, yielding four morphologies: smooth, cuspy, ears touching, and throat drowning.

  3. Resonant transmission of scalar waves through rotating traversable wormhole

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Rotation enhances Breit-Wigner resonances in scalar wave transmission through Teo wormholes by trapping modes in the throat potential well.
