F5 to run and create the animation file named 'Kerr_black_hole_animation.gif' that will appear in the same directory as you registered this .m file.

Surface is a catenoid. The trajectory of an object taken by the black hole while the rotation increased is drawn in red.

Parameters -like the ones for the display- may be tuned in the file header.

To benefit from the file documentation attached, be sure to download the file, not to just copy and paste it.
