We consider a situation where a light source orbiting the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) of the Kerr black hole is gently falling from the marginally stable orbit due to an infinitesimal perturbation. Assuming that the light source…

We consider the light emitters moving freely along the geodesics on the equatorial plane near a Kerr black hole and study the observability of these emitters. To do so, we assume these emitters emit the photons isotropically and…

We consider the escape probability of a photon emitted from the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) of a rapidly rotating black hole. As an isotropically emitting light source on a circular orbit reduces its orbital radius, the escape…
