description The general problem of calculating of the propagation of electromagnetic radiation from particles or stars moving in the vicinity of a supermassive black hole is considered in geometrical optics approximation within the framework of the general theory of relativity. Different approaches that can be used to calculate certain characteristics of radiation, including redshift, the intensity and rotation of the plane of polarization, which have been presented in the literature are analysed herein. The inverse problem—the calculation of the parameters of the motion of the source (star or particle) from the data of the redshift, the intensity and the plane of polarization—is also considered.
