The Brightest Point in Accretion Disk and Black Hole Spin: Implication to the Image of Black Hole M87*

We propose the simple new method for extracting the value of the black hole spin from the direct high-resolution image of black hole by using a thin accretion disk model. In this model, the observed dark region on the first image of the supermassive black hole in the galaxy M87, obtained by the Even...
