Ombre de trou noir & disque

Horizon de Kerr, orbite photonique, ISCO et taille d’ombre avec disque d’accrétion à effet Doppler.

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.
