The claim says that rotating metrics built with the Newman-Janis algorithm can have this property if their line element is suitably restricted. If so, many rotating black hole models beyond Kerr could be tested by comparing gravitational-wave ringing with shadow images.","findings":["The requirements for the quasinormal-mode and shadow-radius correspondence amount to separability of the null Hamilton-Jacobi equation and the Klein-Gordon equation.","The correspondence is explicitly verified for the rotating Bardeen and Hayward regular black holes, which both satisfy the separability requirements.","The authors conclude it holds for a wide range of axisymmetric space-times beyond Kerr, though much better observational sensitivity is needed to test it."],"terms":[{"term":"Newman-Janis algorithm","means":"A procedure that generates a rotating space-time metric from a non-rotating one by a particular change of coordinates."},{"term":"line element","means":"The expression that gives the infinitesimal distance between nearby points in a space-time, and so defines its metric."},{"term":"metric","means":"The mathematical description of the geometry of space-time, used to calculate how light and matter move."}],"basis":"abstract","abstractFrom":"arxiv","model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","writtenAt":"2026-10-24T17:02:05.933Z","version":"context/0.2"},"summary":{"status":"written","at":"2026-10-24T17:02:05.933Z","attempts":1,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","why":null},"note":"Machine-written context to help a reader: it is not evidence, it moves no number, and it may be wrong.
