Abstract:
We present calculations and images of the appearance of a point-like star while heading toward and disappearing behind the horizon of a Schwarzschild black hole. A complete review of equations of motion and their solutions is given in Sect. 2, and Sect. 3 describes the properties of the star as the light source. The results of numerical simulations are shown in 26 figures and some phenomena responsible for their appearance are discussed in Sect. 4. It is possible that such phenomena are relevant for the description of certain activities related to galactic black holes and also for the description of
-ray burstars.
Key words: black holes physics --- gravitational lensing --- gamma rays: bursts

| What is OpenURL? |
The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
- If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
- You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
- You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
