Analytical study of light ray trajectories in Kerr spacetime in the presence of an inhomogeneous anisotropic plasma

Abstract We calculate the exact solutions to the equations of motion that govern the light ray trajectories as they travel in a Kerr black hole’s exterior that is considered to be filled with an inhomogeneous and anisotropic plasmic medium. This is approached by characterizing the plasma through con...
