Circular orbits in the extreme Reissner-Nordstrøm dihole metric

چکیده
We study the motion of neutral test particles in the gravitational field of two charged black holes described by the extreme Reissner-Nordstrøm dihole metric where the masses and charges of the black holes are chosen such that the gravitational attraction is compensated by the electrostatic repulsion. We investigate circular orbits in the equatorial plane between the two black holes with equal masses as well as the case of circular orbits outside this symmetry plane. We show that the first case reduces to an effective two-body problem with a behavior similar to a system described by the Reissner-Nordstrøm spacetime. The main focus is directed to the second case with circular orbits outside the equatorial plane.

Non-extreme Black Holes from Intersecting M-branes
We investigate the possibility of extending non-extreme black hole solutions made of intersecting M-branes to those with two non-extreme deformation parameters, similar to Reissner-Nordstrøm solutions. General analysis of possible solutions is carried out to reduce the problem of solving field equations to a simple algebraic one for static spherically-symmetric case in D dimensions. The results...
متن کاملOn the Classification of Asymptotic Quasinormal Frequencies for d–Dimensional Black Holes and Quantum Gravity
We provide a complete classification of asymptotic quasinormal frequencies for static, spherically symmetric black hole spacetimes in d dimensions. This includes all possible types of gravitational perturbations (tensor, vector and scalar type) as described by the Ishibashi–Kodama master equations. The frequencies for Schwarzschild are dimension independent, while for Reissner–Nordstrøm are dim...
متن کاملThe gravitational and electrostatic fields far from an isolated Einstein-Maxwell source
The exterior solution for an arbitrary charged, massive source, is studied as a static deviation from the Reissner-Nordstrøm metric. This is reduced to two coupled ordinary differential equations for the gravitational and electrostatic potential functions. The homogeneous equations are explicitly solved in the particular case q2 = m2, obtaining a multipole expansion with radial hypergeometric d...
متن کاملWhat is the True Description of Charged Black Holes?
If string theory describes nature, then charged black holes are not described by the Reissner-Nordstrøm solution. This solution must be modified to include a massive dilaton. In the limit of vanishing dilaton mass, the new solution can be found by a generalization of the Harrison transformation for the Einstein-Maxwell equations. These two solution generating transformations and the resulting b...
متن کاملSupersymmetric, Cold and Lukewarm Black Holes in Cosmological Einstein-maxwell Theory
In flat space, the extreme Reissner-Nordstrøm (RN) black hole is distinguished by its coldness (vanishing Hawking temperature) and its supersymmetry. We examine RN solutions to Einstein-Maxwell theory with a cosmological constant Λ, classifying the cold black holes and, for positive Λ, the " lukewarm " black holes at the same temperature as the de Sitter thermal background. For negative Λ, we c...
