The image of a Kerr-Newman (KN) black hole (BH) surrounded by a thin accretion disk is derived. By employing elliptic integrals and ray-tracing methods, we analyze photon trajectories around the KN BH. At low observation inclination angles, the secondary image of particles is embedded within the primary image. However, as the inclination increases, the primary and secondary images separate, forming a hat-like structure. The spin and charge of the BH, along with the observer's inclination angle, affect the image's asymmetry and the distortion of the inner shadow. To investigate the redshift distribution on the accretion disk, we extended the inner boundary of the accretion disk to the event horizon. The results show that the redshift distribution is significantly influenced by the observation inclination angle. Furthermore, we conducted a detailed analysis of the KN BH image using fisheye camera ray-tracing techniques and found that the optical appearance and intensity distribution of the BH vary at different observation frequencies (specifically at 230GHz and 86GHz). We also examined differences in intensity distribution for prograde and retrograde accretion disk scenarios. Comparing observational at the two frequencies, we found that both the total intensity and peak intensity at 86GHz are higher than those at 230GHz.

  1. Critical Behavior of Photon Rings in Kerr-Bertotti-Robinson Spacetime

    gr-qc 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0

    For a magnetized Kerr-Bertotti-Robinson black hole, the photon-ring parameters gamma, delta, and tau all decrease compared with the unmagnetized Kerr case, weakening the self-similar stacking of higher-order images.

  2. Optical Images of the Braneworld Black Hole Surrounded by an Optically Thin Accretion Disk

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    A rotating braneworld black hole with tidal charge casts an asymmetric, spin- and q-dependent shadow; with the adopted disk emissivity, its 86 GHz image is brighter than its 230 GHz image.

  3. Optical Appearance of the Kerr-Bertotti-Robinson Black Hole with a Magnetically Driven Synchrotron Emissivity Model

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Kerr-BR black hole images with magnetically coupled synchrotron emissivity show spin- and B-dependent shifts in the inner disk edge, altered lensing rings, and Doppler asymmetries, with retrograde cases displaying wid...

  4. Optical images of Kerr-Sen black hole illuminated by thick accretion disks

    astro-ph.HE 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Increasing charge Q shrinks photon rings and central shadows in Kerr-Sen black hole images while spin creates brightness asymmetry; polarization patterns follow lensing and frame dragging.
