Silhouettes of wormholes traversed for radiation

Abstract

The problem of the passage of light through the mouth of a zero-mass wormhole and the possibility of observing the objects from another asymptotically flat space-time through the mouth of a wormhole are considered. It is shown that an individual star can have several images and the fact that the image of a flat Lambertian screen has a complex brightness distribution for an observer located on the opposite side of the throat. Images of two such screens visible inside the silhouette of a massless wormhole and the distribution of radiation intensity in their images are constructed.
