Photon boomerang in a nearly extreme Kerr metric

نویسندگان

چکیده

The Kerr rotating black hole metric has unstable photon orbits that orbit around the at fixed values of Boyer-Lindquist coordinate $r$ depend on axial angular momentum orbit, as well parameters hole. For zero orbital momentum, these cross rotational axes a value depends mass $M$ and $J$ Nonzero causes to rotate so its direction when crossing north polar axis changes from one next by an angle I shall call $\Delta\phi$, which dimensionless rotation parameter $a/M = cJ/(GM^2)$ equation involving complete elliptic integral first kind. When \approx 0.994\,341\,179\,923\,26$, is nearly maximally rotating, sent out in constant-$r$ $r 2.423\,776\,210\,035\,73\, GM/c^2$ returns precisely opposite (in frame nonrotating with respect distant stars), boomerang.

The Dirac propagator in the extreme Kerr metric

One may think that the formation of an extreme Kerr black hole (EKBH) is of only academic interest but this is not so. In 2003 it has been proved that the so-called relativistic Dyson rings, i.e. uniformly rotating, homogeneous and axisymmetric relativistic fluid bodies with a toroidal shape admit a continuous transition to an EKBH if a fixed ratio r1/r2 > 0.5613 of inner to outer coordinate ra...

Near-horizon Extreme Kerr Magnetospheres

Analytical solutions to force-free electrodynamics around black holes are fundamental for building simple models of accretion disk and jet dynamics. We present a (nonexhaustive) classification of complex highest-weight solutions to the force-free equations in the near-horizon region of the extremal Kerr black hole. Several classes of real magnetically dominated or null solutions, either axisymm...

A spacetime characterization of the Kerr metric

We obtain a characterization of the Kerr metric among stationary, asymptotically flat, vacuum spacetimes, which extends the characterization in terms of the Simon tensor (defined only in the manifold of trajectories) to the whole spacetime. More precisely, we define a three index tensor on any spacetime with a Killing field, which vanishes identically for Kerr and which coincides in the strictl...

Magnetically Driven Jets in the Kerr Metric

We compute a series of three-dimensional general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of accretion flows in the Kerr metric to investigate the properties of the unbound outflows that result. The overall strength of these outflows increases sharply with increasing black hole rotation rate, but a number of generic features are found in all cases. The mass in the outflow is concentrated in...

The Magnetorotational Instability in the Kerr Metric

The magnetorotational instability (MRI) is the leading candidate for driving turbulence, angular momentum transport, and accretion in astrophysical disks. I consider the linear theory of the MRI in a thin, equatorial disk in the Kerr metric. I begin by analyzing a mechanical model for the MRI that consists of two point masses on nearly circular orbits connected by a spring. I then develop a loc...
