Which observational artifact appears because differential spacetime curvature near coalescing black holes?

💡 Explanation

The accretion disk asymmetry occurs because **gravitational lensing** non-uniformly magnifies different parts of the disk due to curvature. Therefore, the disk appears broadened on one side, rather than being uniformly distorted due to cosmological redshift.
