Over the coming weeks, I’ll be using this blog to walk through my senior project about black holes and photon rings step-by-step. (The blog is also available at its original home here, but the blog on this site has the math formatted a little more nicely.) The first posts will be background posts, dedicated to understanding the basics of general relativity and black holes, so that everyone reading has a clear starting point for what exactly we’re studying, and a basic framework for how strange, exotic objects like black holes behave and why they behave the way they do. After this, I’ll move on to the current literature about the particular problem I’m interested in (more on that below), and the current gaps in said literature. Lastly, I’ll get to my own contributions to the topic and why I think they’re significant, as well as why I think studying black holes so closely, despite already being very well-studied objects, is such a promising avenue in contemporary physics. Don’t worry if
