Perturbation theory for gravitational shadows in Kerr-like spacetimes

Kirill Kobialko, Dmitri Gal'tsov

We present a fully analytical method for calculating the key parameters of a Kerr-like gravitational shadow, including its horizontal and vertical diameters, and , the c…

Gravitational shadow and emission spectrum of thin accretion disks in a plasma medium

Kirill Kobialko, Dmitri Gal'tsov, Alexey Molchanov

In anticipation of future multi-frequency observations of black hole with the Next Generation Event Horizon Telescope (ngEHT), we construct spectral images of a thin accretion disk…

Perturbation theory for gravitational shadows in static spherically symmetric spacetimes

Kirill Kobialko, Dmitri Gal'tsov

We develop a perturbation theory for surfaces confining photons and massive particles in static spherically symmetric spacetimes in terms of two parameters: the mass-to-energy rati…

Uniqueness of the static vacuum asymptotically flat spacetimes with massive particle spheres

Kirill Kobialko, Igor Bogush, Dmitri Gal'tsov

In this paper, we establish that a four-dimensional static vacuum asymptotically flat spacetime containing a massive particle sphere is isometric to the Schwarzschild spacetime. Ou…

Constructing massive particles surfaces in static spacetimes

Igor Bogush, Kirill Kobialko, Dmitri Gal'tsov

The procedure for constructing the massive particle surfaces in static space-times is described in detail and the equivalence of the main results with the results of the geodesic a…

Black hole shadows of massive particles and photons in plasma

Kirill Kobialko, Igor Bogush, Dmitri Gal'tsov

Explicitly covariant analytical expressions are derived that describe the boundaries of shadows cast by massive particles scattered by a gravitating object. This covers scenarios w…

Glued massive particles surfaces

Igor Bogush, Kirill Kobialko, Dmitri Gal'tsov

A novel generalization of photon surfaces to the case of massive charged particles is given for spacetimes with at least one isometry, including stationary ones. A related notion o…

The geometry of massive particle surfaces

Kirill Kobialko, Igor Bogush, Dmitri Gal'tsov

We propose a generalization of Claudel, Virbhadra, and Ellis photon surfaces to the case of massive charged particles, considering a timelike hypersurface such that any worldline o…

Photon surfaces, shadows and accretion disks in gravity with minimally coupled scalar field

Igor Bogush, Dmitri Gal'tsov, Galin Gyulchev +3

In this article, we conduct a sequential study of possible observable images of black hole simulators described by two recently obtained rotating geometries in Einstein gravity, mi…

Slice-reducible conformal Killing tensors, photon surfaces and shadows

Kirill Kobialko, Igor Bogush, Dmitri Gal'tsov

We generalize our recent method for constructing Killing tensors of the second rank to conformal Killing tensors. The method is intended for foliated spacetimes of arbitrary dimens…

Photon regions in stationary axisymmetric spacetimes and umbilic conditions

Kirill Kobialko, Dmitri Gal'tsov

We present the fundamentals of the recently proposed geometric description of photon regions in terms of foliation into fundamental photon hypersurfaces, which satisfies the umbili…

Killing tensors in foliated spacetimes and photon surfaces

Kirill Kobialko, Igor Bogush, Dmitri Gal'tsov

We discuss a recently proposed geometric method for constructing a nontrivial Killing tensor of rank two in a foliated spacetime of codimension one that lifts trivial Killing tenso…

Photon regions and umbilic conditions in stationary axisymmetric spacetimes

K. V. Kobialko, D. V. Gal'tsov

Photon region (PR) in the strong gravitational field is defined as a compact region where photons can travel endlessly without going to infinity or disappearing at the event horizo…
