Imaging a Kerr Black Hole

The observations of the Event Horizon Telescope led to the first mages of a black hole, an object with so much gravity that not even light can escape it. These images remain fuzzy but clearly show the shadow of a black hole with a bright disk and will only improve in quality over time. We want to be able to deduce, from the images, the following...

Gravitational Lensing: Black Hole Imaging

A black hole is an object in space where the pull of its gravity is so strong<br/>that no light can escape. This notion gives rise to the phenomenon called<br/>gravitational lensing which is the effect where light is being bent by a massive<br/>object, in our case a black hole. With these two concepts in mind we are<br/>able to formulate the...
