Modeling the motion of a bright spot in jets from black holes M87* and SgrA*

Vyacheslav I. Dokuchaev, Natalia O. Nazarova

We study the general relativistic motion of a bright spot in a jet from an accreting black hole. The corresponding lensed images of the moving bright spot are calculated numericall…

Silhouettes of invisible black holes

Vyacheslav I. Dokuchaev, Natalia O. Nazarova

In general relativity, isolated black holes are invisible due to an infinitely large redshift of photons propagating from the event horizon to the remote observer. However, the dar…

The brightest point in accretion disk and black hole spin: implication to the image of black hole M87*

Vyacheslav I. Dokuchaev, Natalia O. Nazarova

We propose the simple new method for extracting the value of the black hole spin from the direct high-resolution image of black hole by using a thin accretion disk model. In this m…

Event horizon silhouette: implications to supermassive black holes M87* and SgrA*

Vyacheslav I. Dokuchaev, Natalia O. Nazarova, Vadim P. Smirnov

We demonstrate that a dark silhouette of the black hole illuminated by a thin accretion disk and seen by a distant observer is, in fact, a silhouette of the event horizon hemispher…

Event horizon image within black hole shadow

V. I. Dokuchaev, N. O. Nazarova

We argue that a genuine image of the black hole viewed by a distant observer is not its shadow, but a more compact event horizon image probed by the luminous matter plunging into b…

Gravitational Lensing of a star by a rotating black hole

V. I. Dokuchaev, N. O. Nazarova

The gravitational lensing of a finite star moving around a rotating Kerr black hole has been numerically calculated. Calculations for the direct image of the star and for the first…
