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 Plebanski-Demianski class of space-times, the book derives analytical formulas for the photon regions and for the boundary curve of the shadow as seen by an observer in the domain of outer communication. It also analyzes how the shadow depends on the motion of the observer. For all cases, the photon regions and shadows are visualized for various values of the parameters. Finally, ... Read more

Reviews for The Shadow of Black Holes: An Analytic Description
The author of this book, written as a result of dissertation defended presents us a very intriguing and interesting reading of new and very simple subject ... . The book is nice colored, and insightful. It presents, as I have told, a real interest for a large circle of readers. (Alex B. Gaina, zbMATH 1347.83004, 2016)
