Observing shadow of the Schwarzschild black hole in presence of a plasma
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 June 2017
Abstract
We have investigated particle motion around Schwarzschild black holes in the presence of a plasma with radial power-law density profile has been shown that the photon sphere around a spherically symmetric black hole is unchanged under the influence of the plasma; however, the Schwarzschild black hole shadow size is reduced due to the refraction of electromagnetic radiation in the plasma environment of the black hole.
