Abstract

We study the motion of charged test particles and photons in the gravitational field of the rotating electrically charged Einstein-Euler-Heisenberg black hole solution. This describes a nonlinear electromagnetic generalization of the Kerr-Newman solution, which endows the vacuum with an effective dielectric constant. The orbits of photons are analyzed by means of the effective Plebański pseudometric related to the geometrical metric and to the electromagnetic energy-momentum tensor. The QED induced modifications of the shape of the shadow are presented and discussed.
