Spherical orbits around a Kerr black hole

نویسندگان

چکیده

A special class of orbits known to exist around a Kerr black hole are spherical -- with constant coordinate radii that not necessarily confined the equatorial plane. Spherical time-like were first studied by Wilkins almost 50 years ago. In present paper, we perform systematic and thorough study these orbits, encompassing extending previous works on them. We simplified forms for parameters orbits. The parameter space is then analysed in detail; particular, delineate boundaries between stable unstable bound unbound prograde retrograde Finally, provide analytic solutions geodesic equations, illustrate few representative examples

Radiative Evolution of Orbits around a Kerr Black Hole

We propose a simple approach for the radiative evolution of generic orbits around a Kerr black hole. For a scalar-field, we recover the standard results for the evolution of the energy E and the azimuthal angular momentum Lz . In addition, our method provides a closed expression for the evolution of the Carter constant Q. Recently, the prospects of a direct observation of gravitational radiatio...

Metric perturbations produced by eccentric equatorial orbits around a Kerr black hole

We present the first numerical calculation of the (local) metric perturbation produced by a small compact object moving on an eccentric equatorial geodesic around a Kerr black hole, accurate to first order in the mass ratio. The procedure starts by first solving the Teukolsky equation to obtain the Weyl scalar ψ4 using semi-analytical methods. The metric perturbation is then reconstructed from ...

Effect of gravitational radiation reaction on nonequatorial orbits around a Kerr black hole.

The effect of gravitational radiation reaction on orbits around a spinning black hole is analyzed. Such orbits possess three constants of motion: i , e , and a , which correspond, in the Newtonian limit of the orbit being an ellipse, to the inclination angle of the orbital plane to the hole’s equatorial plane, the eccentricity, and the semimajor axis length, respectively. First, it is argued th...

Gravitational self-force on eccentric equatorial orbits around a Kerr black hole

This paper presents the first calculation of the gravitational self-force on a small compact object on an eccentric equatorial orbit around a Kerr black hole to first order in the mass-ratio. That is the pointwise correction to the object’s equations of motion (both conservative and dissipative) due to its own gravitational field, which is treated as a linear perturbation to the background Kerr...

Super-Eddington accretion disc around a Kerr black hole

We calculate the structure of accretion disc around a rapidly rotating black hole with a super-Eddington accretion rate. The luminosity and height of the disc are reduced by the advection effect. In the case of a large viscosity parameter, α > 0.03, the accretion flow strongly deviates from thermodynamic equilibrium and overheats in the central region. With increasing accretion rate, the flow t...
