Optical Characteristics of the Kerr-Bertotti-Robinson Black Hole
gr-qc 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

For the Kerr-Bertotti-Robinson black hole, the magnetic field mainly enlarges the shadow and Einstein ring while rotation mainly distorts the shadow shape, and current M87* and Sgr A* data give only weak bounds on the field.
