Caption: Figure 6.
Behavior of the centers (xn, yn) for the n = 0 and n = 1 images of equatorial source rings on the image plane Equation (1). We show the horizontal components (xn; top row), vertical components (yn; second row), relative position ((x0 − x1, y0 − y1); third row), and displacement (∣(x0, y0) − (x1, y1)∣; bottom row) of the image centers as a function of spin (subplot horizontal axes), inclination (θo ∈ {5∘, 15∘, …, 45∘}; columns) and source ring radii (rs ∈ {2M, 3M, …, 10M}; colored curves). Quantities are shown in units of the mass-to-distance ratio θg = M/D.
