Abstract In this paper, we discuss the optical geometry of the Kerr solutions, and show the embedding diagram at the equator $\theta=\pi/2$ for the optical space of the Kerr solution with $a/M=1$. It is noticed that at the equator $\theta=\pi/2$, the Gaussian curvature K for the ordinary space is negative, and the $\stackrel{\sim}{K}$ for the optical space is positive.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
