Shadow Module

Module for calculating Shadow cast by an thin emission disk around schwarzschild spacetime.

class einsteinpy.rays.shadow.Shadow(mass, n_rays, fov, limit=0.001)

Bases: object

Class for plotting the shadow of Schwarzschild Black Hole surrounded by a thin accreting emission disk as seen by a distant observer.

smoothen(points=500)

Sets the interpolated values for the intensities for smoothening of the plot using ~scipy.interpolate.interp1d
