In this paper we study some features of the Reissner-Nordstr\"om metric both from an analytic and a visual point of view. We perform an accurate ray tracing and study of null geodesics in various situations. Among the issues we focus on are…

We present an implementation of a ray tracing code in the Schwarzschild metric. We aim at building a numerical code with a correct implementation of both special (aberration, amplification, Doppler) and general (deflection of light,…

We study null geodesics that connect the two asymptotically flat regions of the maximally extended Kerr spacetime. These vortical geodesics traverse both horizons and pass through the ring singularity, linking the positive-$r$ exterior to…

We derive an effective Kerr metric from an effective Schwarzschild metric inspired by loop quantum gravity through the Newman-Janis algorithm. The resulting spacetime is free from the classical ring singularity and does not allow the…

We consider null geodesics in the exterior region of a subextremal Kerr spacetime. We show that most well-known fundamental properties of null geodesics can be represented on one plot. In particular, one can see immediately that the…

Recently the non-local gravity theory has come out to be a good candidate for an effective field theory of quantum gravity and also it can provide rich phenomenology to understand late-time accelerating expansion of the universe. For any…

In general relativity, the Kerr metric uniquely represents the geometry surrounding an isolated, rotating black hole. An identification of significant non-Kerr features in some astrophysical source would then provide a `smoking-gun' for the…

We present here the general expressions for the acceleration of massive test particles along the symmetry axis of the Kerr metric, and then study the main properties of this acceleration in different regions of the spacetime. In particular,…

We revise the work of Scholtz, Flandera and G\"urlebeck [Kerr-Newman black hole in the formalism of isolated horizons, Phys. Rev. D 96, 064024 (2017)]. We cast the Kerr metric explicitly in the form suitable for the framework of isolated…

A new magnetically charged Kiselev black hole solution is used to study the null geodesics in this spacetime. We derive the equations of motion for the null geodesics and analyze their properties, including the gravitational lensing effect.…

Einstein's theory of General Relativity implies that energy, i.e. matter, curves space-time and thus deforms lightlike geodesics, giving rise to gravitational lensing. This phenomenon is well understood in the case of the Schwarzschild…

In a previous study we investigated the spherically symmetric Schwarzschild and Schwarzschild-de Sitter solutions within a Finsler-Randers-type geometry. In this work we extend our analysis to charged and rotating solutions, focusing on the…

We exhibit the first analogue model of a rotating black hole constructed in the framework of nonlinear electrodynamics. The background electromagnetic field is assumed to be algebraically special and adapted to a geodesic shear-free…

We study optical metrics via null geodesics as a central force system, deduce the related Binet equation and apply the analysis to certain solutions of Einstein's equations with and without spherical symmetry. A general formula for the…

We revisit the Kerr metric in Boyer-Lindquist coordinates and construct the corresponding class of nonstandard solutions of Einstein's equations. These solutions can be used to describe the outer part of spiral galaxies without assuming…

The Kerr spacetime is a fundamental solution of general relativity (GR), describing the gravitational field around a rotating, uncharged black hole (BH). Kerr spacetime has been crucial in modern astrophysics and it serves as a foundation…

In this work we study in detail new kinds of motions of the metric tensor. The work is divided into two main parts. In the first part we study the general existence of Kerr-Schild motions --a recently introduced metric motion. We show that…

Considerable attention has recently focused on gravity theories obtained by extending general relativity with additional scalar, vector, or tensor degrees of freedom. In this paper, we show that the black-hole solutions of these theories…

Recent gravitational wave observations and shadow imaging have demonstrated the astonishing consistency of the Kerr paradigm despite all the special symmetries assumed in deriving the Kerr metric. Hence, it is crucial to test the presence…

Nearly every galactic core contains a supermassive compact object, hypothesized to be a Kerr black hole. It was only with the advent of Event Horizon Telescope observations that the predictions of this hypothesis could be observationally…
