Signatures of the Israel Junction II: Double Photon Rings in Slowly Rotating Kerr Spacetime with Thin Shell
Long-Yue Li, Li-Ming Cao, Yungui Gong +2
Applying the junction conditions to the slowly rotating Kerr spacetime with a thin shell, when higher order terms in the spin parameter a can be neglected, we find that while the a…
The point-particle-limit effective-source approach for computing gravitational self-force in the Lorenz gauge
Chao Zhang, Yungui Gong, Xuchen Lu +1
The traditional effective-source method is hampered by complex analytical expressions and the inherent smoothness limit, which incur high computational costs and complicate impleme…
Images and photon regions of continuous photon sphere spacetime
Long-Yue Li, Xia-Yuan Liu, Rong-Gen Cai +2
We study images of spacetimes containing continuous photon spheres (CPS). For a self-gravitating, isotropic, spherically symmetric spacetime with CPS, we find that a thin accretion…
Generic effective sources for first-order in mass-ratio gravitational self-force calculations in Schwarzschild spacetime
Chao Zhang, Rong-gen Cai, Guoyang Fu +3
The numerical calculation of gravitational self-force in extreme mass ratio inspiral systems is fundamentally challenging due to the singular nature of point-particle sources. To o…
