Polarization effects in Kerr black hole shadow due to the coupling between photon and bumblebee field

Abstract We present firstly the equation of motion for the photon coupled to a special bumblebee vector field in a Kerr black hole spacetime and find that the propagation of light depends on its polarization due to the birefringence phenomenon. The dependence of black hole shadow on the light's...
