Images and flares of geodesic hot spots around a Kerr black hole

J Huang, Z Zhang, M Guo, B Chen - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
In this study, we develop a numerical method to generate images on an observer's screen,
formed by radiation from hot spots on any timelike orbits outside a black hole. This method …

The imitation game reloaded: effective shadows of dynamically robust spinning Proca stars

I Sengo, PVP Cunha, CAR Herdeiro… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
We analyse the lensing images by dynamically robust rotating (mini-) Proca stars
surrounded by thin accretion disks. Due to their peculiar geodesic structure we show that …

[HTML][HTML] Shadows and weak gravitational lensing for black holes within Einstein-Maxwell-scalar theory
