Shadows and Photon Regions of Black Holes — •Arne Grenzebach, Claus Lämmerzahl, and Volker Perlick — ZARM, Universität Bremen, 28359 Bremen

I my talk I start with a short general definition of the concept of the shadow of black holes and describe how the shadow of a Kerr-Newman-NUT black hole with a cosmological constant can be determined. Here, the crucial point is the existence of (unstable) spherical light rays in a region K which determine the boundary of the shadow. This region K shrinks to the well known photon sphere in the Reissner-Nordström case. After transformation to celestial coordinates on the observer’s sky, the shadow can be viewed via stereographic projection.
