Lab frame diagram of a hotspot orbiting in the plane with position vector
, where
is the unit vector in the radial direction. We note that
makes an angle ξ(t) with
. The magnetic field
is a function of ξ and consists of a vertical plus radial component. The strength of the latter is given by tanθ, θ, the angle between the vertical, and
. The observer’s camera is defined by impact parameters
,
, and a flat space line of sight
. The line of sight makes an angle i with the spin axis of the black hole. The observer’s view is shown on the right. Lastly,
is the unit vector in the azimuthal direction.
