Schwarzes-Loch-Schatten & Scheibe
Kerr-Horizont, Photonenorbit, ISCO und Schattengröße mit Doppler-gebeugter Akkretionsscheibe.
About this tool
Visualize a spinning (Kerr) black hole’s characteristic radii and a stylized accretion disk.
- Horizon r₊ = M(1+√(1−a⋆²))
- Photon orbit (equatorial) r_ph±/M = 2(1+cos((2/3)arccos(∓a⋆)))
- ISCO from the Bardeen formula (prograde and retrograde)
- Shadow critical curve ≈ √27 M for Schwarzschild, with a mild spin correction; angular size θ ≈ r_sh/D
The WebGL view shows the horizon, photon ring, shadow silhouette (shifted with spin), and a Keplerian disk with Doppler beaming on the approaching side. Press Render to build the scene. Not a full GR ray tracer.
