We investigate the escape of photons from the vicinity of the horizon to infinity in the Kerr-Newmann black hole spacetime. We assume that a light source is at rest in a locally nonrotating frame and photons are emitted isotropically. Then,…

We consider a rapidly spinning black hole surrounded by an equatorial, geometrically thin, slowly accreting disk that is stationary and axisymmetric. We analytically compute the broadening of electromagnetic line emissions from the…
Simulated images of a black hole surrounded by optically thin emission typically display two main features: a central brightness depression and a narrow, bright "photon ring" consisting of strongly lensed images superposed on top of the…
This study investigates photon orbits around Kerr-MOG black holes. The equation of photon of motion around the Kerr-MOG black hole is derived by solving the Hamilton-Jacobi equation, expressed as a sixth-order polynomial involving the…
We develop a simple toy model for polarized images of synchrotron emission from an equatorial source around a Kerr black hole by using a semi-analytic solution of the null geodesic equation and conservation of the Penrose-Walker constant.…
The spherical photon orbits around a black hole with constant radii are particular important in astrophysical observations of the black hole. In this paper, the equatorial and non-equatorial spherical photon orbits around Kerr-Newman black…
The notion of non-equatorial spherical photon orbits is among the very special properties of the Kerr spacetime of rotating black holes and is one that leaves a clear mark on the electromagnetic and gravitational wave signature of these…
