Description

Spherical orbits around rotating black holes have a major astrophysical importance. In the presence of quintessential matter [1, 2], the geodesic equations can be investigated using a combined numerical-analytical approach [3]. One may notice significant differences compared to the results previously derived for Kerr black holes [4]. Also, as it is known, the rotating black holes produce shadows that differ significantly from those of nonrotating black hokes which are perfectly circular. By comparing the theoretically derived shadow’s observables with data on M87 and Sgr A from the Event Horizon Telescope, one may impose constraints on the black hole's parameters and highlight the impact of quintessence [5].
