Shadows and thin accretion disk images of the $$\gamma $$ γ -metric

Abstract The $$\gamma $$ γ -metric is a static, axially-symmetric singular solution of the vacuum Einstein’s equations without an event horizon. This is a two-parameter family of solutions, generic values of one of which (called $$\gamma $$ γ ) measure the deviation from spherical symmetry. We show...
