Photon boomerang in a nearly extreme Kerr metric

Abstract: The Kerr rotating black hole metric has unstable photon orbits that orbit around the hole at fixed values of the Boyer-Lindquist coordinate r that depend on the axial angular momentum of the orbit, as well as on the parameters of the hole. For zero orbital axial angular momentum, these orbits cross the rotational axes at a fixed value of r that depends on the mass M and angular momentum J of the black hole. Nonzero angular momentum of the hole causes the photon orbit to rotate so that its direction when crossing… Show more

“…We intend to analyze the effect of the PFDM on the spherical photon orbits around BHs and NSs. We will extend the previous analysis in [17] to find the possible effects of surrounding PFDM on the boomerang orbits and also to inquire whether such orbits can be formed around NSs as well. Further, we will investigate how the PFDM affects the black hole shadow structure and compare our result with those of the Kerr BHs' [16].…”
