Ray Tracing in Kerr Spacetime

This code calculates the trajectory of light (ray - geometrical optics) on a background Kerr spacetime.

The code solves a set of ODEs numerically. We use a Hamiltonian formulation, going beyond the usual vacuum approach, also considering the influence of plasma on the ray spacetime trajectory. See Kimpson et al. 2019.
