Abstract

Since the development of Relativity theory, a variety of solutions have been found around Einstein field equations, depending on the time-space. For instance, we can find the axially symmetric space which describes a rotanting black hole. To understand this astrophysics objects, we must do a ray tracing, which is a simulation of photon's trajectory from the black hole to observer. Since are millions of photons recievied by the observer, we need a computational tool to resolve this problem for generating the image of black hole. Thanks to the YNOGK- GEOKERR code, we can visualise the black holes characteristics and the solutions of the equations of motion using separability and interior point methods. With this article we want to study this type of space and also to show the results for black hole simulations with this routine.
