Images of black holes viewed by distant observer

Abstract

We describe the possible forms of black hole images, viewed by a distant observer. These images are numerically calculated basing on general relativity and equations of motion in the Kerr-Newman metric. Black hole image is a gravitationally lensed image of the black hole event horizon. It may be viewed as a black spot on the celestial sphere, projected inside the position of classical black hole shadow. In the nearest future it would be possible to verify modified gravity theories by observations of astrophysical black holes with Space Observatory Millimetron.
