The Shadow of Black Holes An Analytic Description
This book introduces an analytic method to describe the shadow of black holes. As an introduction, it presents a survey of the attempts to observe the shadow of galactic black holes. Based on a detailed discussion of the Plebański–Demiański class of space

Preface
All the work presented here covers an analytic geometrical way to construct the shadow of black holes. The shape of the shadow varies in different space-times, i.e., it depends on specific properties of the black hole as, for example, the spin. My aim is to provide calculations as general as possible. This short book summarizes the scientific results of my doctoral project where I generalized the existing calculations for the shadow of a Kerr bla
