Black hole shadow in a general rotating spacetime obtained through Newman-Janis algorithm

Abstract

The Newman-Janis (NJ) algorithm has been extensively used in the literature to generate rotating black hole solutions from nonrotating seed spacetimes. In this work, we show, using various constants of motion, that the null geodesic equations in an arbitrary stationary and axially symmetric rotating spacetime obtained through the NJ algorithm can be separated completely, provided that the algorithm is applied successfully without any inconsistency. Using the separated null geodesic equations, we then obtain an analytic general formula for obtaining the contour of a shadow cast by a compact object whose gravitational field is given by the arbitrary rotating spacetime under consideration. As special cases, we apply our general analytic formula to some known black holes and reproduce the corresponding results for black hole shadow. Finally, we consider a new example and study shadow using our analytic general formula.
