photon sphere
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: photon spheres
Etymology: From photon + sphere.
Senses: examples: text: The radius of the photon sphere is also the lower bound for any stable orbit.
text: For a Schwarzschild (non-spinning) black hole, the radius of the photon sphere is 1.5 times the Schwarzschild radius.
text: The redshift of light leaking outward from the photon sphere is #92;sqrt#123;3#125;-1#61;0.732. All light rays approaching a black hole closer than #92;sqrt#123;3#125; times the radius of the photon sphere spiral inwards and are captured (see Figure 13.5).
ref: 2000, Edward Harrison, Cosmology, 2nd edition, Cambridge University Press, page 250:
text: For a Kerr black hole though, one that has spin, the situation is different for the orbits near the black hole. In particular, there are two photon spheres, in contrast with the one photon sphere around a stationary Schwarzschild black hole. The outermost sphere is for photons that are orbiting oppositely to the direction of rotation of the black hole (the ones we say are on retrograde orbits). Inside this is the photon sphere for photons travelling in the same sense around the black hole as it is rotating (on prograde orbits). For a very slowly rotating black hole that isn't so very different from a Schwarzschild black hole, these two photon spheres are very nearly co-spatial. For black holes of increasing spin, these surfaces are increasingly further apart.
ref: 2015, Katherine Blundell, Black Holes: A Very Short Introduction, Oxford University Press, page 44:
text: 2017, Lori Gardi, The Mandelbrot Set as a Quasi-Black Hole, David de Hilster (editor), John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society: 2017 Proceedings, John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society, page 65,
The lesser known region just outside the black hole is referred to as the photon sphere (outer grey region in Figure 9). The photon sphere is a region of space just outside the black hole where photons are forced to travel in complex orbits due to the extreme curvature of space within this region [2]. […] Finally, the boundary that exactly separates the black hole from the photon sphere is referred to as the event horizon (white circle surrounding the black region in Figure 9).
text: The region inside the photon sphere has a diameter of 1.5× Schwarzschild diameter D(s), but due to the curvature, this region gets magnified to 2.6× D(s).
