Aberrational Effects for Shadows of Black Holes

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2021-04-07 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss how the shadow of a Kerr black hole depends on the motion of the observer. In particular, we derive an analytical formula for the boundary curve of the shadow for an observer moving with given four-velocity at given Boyer--Lindquist coordinates. We visualize the shadow for various values of parameters.
