It is shown how the use of the Kerr - Schild coordinate system can greatly simplify the formulation of the geodesic equation of the Schwarzschild solution. An application of this formulation to the numerical computation of the aspect of a non-rotating black hole is presented. The generalization to the case of the Kerr solution is also presented. 0470B, 9760L

Stability of circular geodesics in equatorial plane of Kerr spacetime
We analyze the stability of circular geodesics for timelike as well as null geodesics of the Kerr BH spacetime with rotation parameter on the equatorial plane by Lyapunov stability analysis. Also, we…
A dynamical system's approach to Schwarzschild null geodesics
The null geodesics of a Schwarzschild black hole are studied from a dynamical system's perspective. Written in terms of Kerr–Schild coordinates, the null geodesic equation takes on the simple form of…
Shadow of the magnetically and tidally deformed black hole
We consider a simple model of a black hole surrounded by a toroidal structure and experiencing deformation due to magnetic field and the tidal force. For this system we construct the shadows of…

In this paper we study some features of the Reissner–Nordström metric both from an analytic and a visual point of view. We perform an accurate ray tracing and study of null geodesics in various…
Strong-field gravitational lensing by black holes
In this thesis we study aspects of strong-field gravitational lensing by black holes in general relativity, with a particular focus on the role of integrability and chaos in geodesic motion. We first…
Shadow of a Schwarzschild black hole surrounded by a Bach–Weyl ring
We have studied the shadows of a Schwarzschild black hole surrounded by a Bach–Weyl ring through the backward ray-tracing method. The presence of Bach–Weyl ring leads to that the photon dynamical…

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 and…
Half century of black-hole theory: From physicists' purgatory to mathematicians' paradise
Although implicit in the discovery of the Schwarzschild solution 40 years earlier, the issues raised by the theory of what are now known as black holes were so unsettling to physicists of Einstein’s…
Measuring black hole spin by the continuum-fitting method: effect of deviations from the Novikov-Thorne disc model
The X-ray spectra of accretion discs of eight stellar mass black holes have been analysed to date using the thermal continuum-fitting method, and the spectral fits have been used to estimate the spin…
