Gravitational Lensing in the Schwarzschild Spacetime: Photon Rings in Vacuum and in the Presence of a Plasma
Torben C. Frost
Astrophysical black holes are usually surrounded by an accretion disk. At least parts of these accretion disks consist of a plasma in which light rays with different energies are d…

Gravitational Lensing in the Kerr Spacetime: An Analytic Approach for Light and High-Frequency Gravitational Waves
Torben C. Frost
The Kerr spacetime is one of the most widely known solutions to Einstein's vacuum field equations and is commonly used to describe a black hole with mass and spin . Astrophy…
