In this paper, we examine the effect of dark matter to a Kerr black hole of mass $m$. The metric is derived using the Newman-Janis algorithm, where the seed metric originates from the Schwarzschild black hole surrounded by a spherical shell of dark matter with mass $M$ and thickness $\Delta r_{s}$. The seed metric is also described in terms of a piecewise mass function with three different conditions. Specializing in the non-trivial case where the observer resides inside the dark matter shell, we analyzed how the effective mass of the black hole environment affects the basic black hole properties. A high concentration of dark matter near the rotating black hole is needed to have considerable deviations on the horizons, ergosphere, and photonsphere radius. The time-like geodesic, however, shows more sensitivity to deviation even at very low dark matter density. Further, the location of energy extraction via the Penrose process is also shown to remain unchanged. With how the dark matter distribution is described in the mass function, and the complexity of how the shadow radius is defined for a Kerr black hole, deriving an analytic expression for $\Delta r_{s}$ as a condition for notable dark matter effects to occur remains inconvenient.

  1. Photon rings and shadows of black holes with non-minimal couplings between curvature and electromagnetic field

    gr-qc 2026-04 conditional novelty 6.0

    Three distinct non-minimal curvature-EM couplings produce different enlargements or reductions of black hole shadows and alter photon ring separations in characteristic ways.

  2. Connection Between the Shadow Radius and Quasinormal Frequencies for Black Holes in STVG with Perfect Fluid Dark Matter

    gr-qc 2026-03 conditional novelty 4.0

    In STVG with PFDM, eikonal QNM real frequencies equal multipole number over shadow radius, so shadow size and ringdown are dual photon-sphere observables.
