DescriptionOrbit around a rotating Kerr black hole.gif	English: Retrograde orbit around a black hole spinning with spin parameter a=Jc/G/M²=0.95. Initial conditions: local velocity v0=0.5, cartesian position x0=6.56906, y0=z0=0, orbital inclination angle i0=π/2-11/50=77.3949°, vertical launch angle=0 (which gives the local three-velocity-components vφ0=-sin(11/50)/2, vθ0=-cos(11/50)/2, vr0=0) - that corresponds to the conserved quantities total energy E=0.956545, axial angular momentum Lz=-0.830327, Carter constant Q=13.4126 and the Boyer-Lindquist-coordinates r0=6.5, θ0=π/2=90°, φ0=0. The observed (shapiro-delayed and frame-dragged) velocity at t0 is u0=0.409215. The bright blue pumpkin-shaped region outside of the BH is the outer ergosphere, the cyan region the BH's outer horizon, the oblated spheroid pink region the inner horizon and the innermost magenta region the inner ergosphere. The ring singularity is located on the equatorial kink of the inner ergosurface at R=a. Units: G=M=c=1. Deutsch: Retrograder Orbit um ein mit einem Spinparameter von a=Jc/G/M²=0.95 rotierendes schwarzes Loch. Startbedingungen: lokale Geschwindigkeit v0=0.5c, kartesische Position x0=6.56906, y0=z0=0, orbitaler Inklinationswinkel i0=π/2-11/50=77.3949°, vertikaler Abschusswinkel=0 (das ergibt die lokalen Dreiergeschwindigkeitskomponenten vφ0=-0.109115, vθ0=-0.487949, vr0=0) - was den Erhaltungsgrößen Gesamtenergie E=0.956545, axialer Drehimpuls Lz=-0.830327, Carter Konstante Q=13.4126 und den Boyer-Lindquist-Koordinaten r0=6.5, θ0=π/2=90°, φ0=0 entspricht. Die beobachtete (shapiroverzögerte und geframedragte) Geschwindigkeit bei t0 ist u0=0.409215. Die hellblaue äußere Zone ist die Ergosphäre, die cyane Region der äußere Ereignishorizont, das abgeflachte hellrote Spheroid der innere EH und die innerste violette Region die innere Ergosphäre. Die Ringsingularität befindet sich an deren Ausbuchtung in der Äquatorebene auf einem kartesischen Radius von R=a. Einheiten: G=M=c=1
