Abstract

AbstractThe polarization from a spot orbiting around Schwarzschild and extreme Kerr black holes is studied. The time dependence of the degree and angle of polarization during the spot revolution is examined as a function of the observer's inclination angle and black hole angular momentum. The gravitational and Doppler shifts, lensing effect as well as time delays are taken into account.
