Abstract
We study strong deflection gravitational lensing by a Lee-Wick black hole, which is a non-singular black hole generated by a high derivative modification of Einstein-Hilbert action. The strong deflection lensing is expected to produce a set of relativistic images very closed to the event horizon of the black hole. We estimate its observables for the supermassive black hole in our Galactic center. It is found that the Lee-Wick black hole can be distinguished from the Schwarzschild black hole via such lensing effects when the UV scale is not very large, but the requiring resolution is much higher than current capability.
