Jets Intrinsically Produced by Rotating Black Holes and Penrose Processes

چکیده
In this paper, I present results from theoretical and numerical (Monte Carlo) Nparticle fully relativistic 4-D analysis of Penrose scattering processes (Compton and γγ −→ ee) in the ergosphere of a supermassive or stellar mass Kerr (rotating) black hole. Specifically, the escape conditions and the escaping orbits of the Penrose pair production (γγ −→ ee) electrons are analyzed, revealing that these particles escape along jet geodesic trajectories collimated, encircling the polar axis. Such collimated vortical tightly wound coil-like trajectories of relativistic particles are inherent properties of rotating black holes. The helical polar angles of escape for these ee pairs range from ∼ 40o to ∼ 0.5o (for the highest energy particles). These jet distributions are consistent with the astrophysical jets of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and galactic black holes, and strongly suggest a mechanism for precollimation within the inner radius of the dynamically stable accretion disk. Subject headings: acceleration of particles—black hole physics: jets: general—gravitation— relativity

متن کاملCollimated Energy-Momentum Extraction from Rotating Black Holes in Quasars and Microquasars Using the Penrose Mechanism
For almost four decades, since the discovery of quasars, mounting observational evidence has accumulated that black holes indeed exist in nature. In this paper, I present a theoretical and numerical (Monte Carlo) fully relativistic 4-D analysis of Penrose scattering processes (Compton and γγ −→ e−e+) in the ergosphere of a supermassive Kerr (rotating) black hole. These model calculations surpri...

In this paper, I present a theoretical and numerical (Monte Carlo) N-particle fully relativistic 4-D analysis of Penrose scattering processes (Compton and γγ −→ ee) in the ergosphere of a supermassive Kerr (rotating) black hole. These general relativistic model calculations surprisingly reveal that the observed high energies and luminosities of quasars and other active galactic nuclei, the coll...

متن کاملBlack Holes in Astrophysics
This article reviews the current status of black hole astrophysics, focusing on topics of interest to a physics audience. Astronomers have discovered dozens of compact objects with masses greater than 3M⊙, the likely maximum mass of a neutron star. These objects are identified as black hole candidates. Some of the candidates have masses ∼ 5− 20M⊙ and are found in X-ray binaries, while the rest ...
