This is a computer simulation of what a binary black hole system would look like, including accretion disks around each black hole and gravitational lensing effects.
Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: A simulated view of a binary black hole with mass ratio 1:2,
as seen by an observer inclined 85 degrees to the orbital axis. Each black hole has spin a/M=0 and a thin, turbulent accretion disk extending from the inner-most stable circular orbit out to 20 gravitational radii. The primary black hole, with a cooler disk (represented as red here), is in the foreground, lensing the secondary (blue disk) into two images. Each black hole also exhibits an inner ring of light caused by photons that orbit the black hole multiple times before escaping to reach a distant observer. There are three "zoom-in" panels corresponding to the three small white rectangles on the large image. In each zoomed in image, the extreme effects of gravitational light bending are evident by the distorted secondary and tertiary images of the accretion disks. |
