Description

In this talk, we will discuss the formation of black hole shadows and how some cases of non-Kerr compact objects can produce distinctive non-Kerr shadows with fractal structures. We will also discuss how these shadows can be illuminated by accretion and explore the possibilities for measuring the properties of the spacetime.
