We study the local shadow of the Schwarzschild black hole with a quadrupole distortion and the influence of the external gravitational field on the photon dynamics. The external matter sources modify the light ring structure and lead to the…

Causal concept for the general black hole shadow is investigated, instead of the photon sphere. We define several `wandering null geodesics' as complete null geodesics accompanied by repetitive conjugate points, which would correspond to…
