New criterion for direct black hole formation in rapidly rotating stellar collapse
We study gravitational collapse of rapidly rotating relativistic polytropes of the adiabatic index Γ = 1.5 and 2, in which the spin parameter q ≡ J/M > 1 where J and M are total angular momentum and gravitational mass, in full general relativity. First, analyzing initial distributions of the mass and the spin parameter inside stars, we predict the final outcome after the collapse. Then, we perf...
متن کاملCollapse and black hole formation in magnetized, differentially rotating neutron stars
The capacity to model magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) flows in dynamical, strongly curved spacetimes significantly extends the reach of numerical relativity in addressing many problems at the forefront of theoretical astrophysics. We have developed and tested an evolution code for the coupled EinsteinMaxwell-MHD equations which combines a BSSN solver with a high resolution shock capturing scheme. A...
متن کاملCharged Rotating Black Hole Formation from Thin Shell Collapse in Three Dimensions
The thin shell collapse leading to the formation of charged rotating black holes in 2+1 dimensions is analyzed in the light of a recently developed Hamiltonian formalism for these systems. It is proposed to demand, as a natural extension of what happens with a solenoid in flat space, that the magnetic field should vanish just outside the shell. The adoption of this boundary condition results in...
متن کاملGeneral Relativistic Simulations of Jet Formation in a Rapidly Rotating Black Hole Magnetosphere
To investigate the formation mechanism of relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei and micro-quasars, we have developed a new general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic code in Kerr geometry. Here we report on the first numerical simulation of jet formation in a rapidly-rotating (a = 0.95) Kerr black hole magnetosphere. We study cases in which the Keplerian accretion disk is both co-rotating a...
متن کاملGeneral Relativistic Simulations of Jet Formation by a Rapidly Rotating Black Hole
Recent observations of Galactic Black Hole Candidates (BHCs) suggest that those that are superluminal jet sources have more rapid black hole spin rates than otherwise normal BHCs. This provides observational support for models of relativistic jet formation that extract rotational energy of the central black hole. To investigate this mechanism, we have developed a new general relativistic magnet...
