Gravitational fields of rotating disks and black holes
نویسنده
چکیده
The two known exact solutions of Einstein’s field equations describing rotating objects of physical significance – a black hole and a rigidly rotating disk of dust – are discussed using a single mathematical framework related to Jacobi’s inversion problem. Both solutions can be represented in such a form that they differ in the choice of a complex parameter and a real solution of the axisymmetric Laplace equation only. A recently found family of solutions describing differentially rotating disks of dust fits into the same scheme.

Calculation of the relativistic bulk tensor and shear tensor of relativistic accretion flows in the Kerr metric.
In this paper, we calculate the relativistic bulk tensor and shear tensor of the relativistic accretion ows in the Kerr metric, overall and without any approximation. We obtain the relations of all components of the relativistic bulk and shear tensor in terms of components of four-velocity and its derivatives, Christoffel symbols and metric components in the BLF. Then, these components are deri...
متن کاملEvolution of distorted rotating black holes. II. Dynamics and analysis.
We have developed a numerical code to study the evolution of distorted, rotating black holes. This code is used to evolve a new family of black hole initial data sets corresponding to distorted “Kerr” holes with a wide range of rotation parameters, and distorted Schwarzschild black holes with oddparity radiation. Rotating black holes with rotation parameters as high as a/m = 0.87 are evolved an...

With the fundamental stress mechanism of accretion disks identified—correlated MHD turbulence driven by the magneto-rotational instability—it has become possible to make numerical simulations of accretion disk dynamics based on well-understood physics. A sampling of results from both Newtonian 3-d shearing box and general relativistic global disk MHD simulations is reported. Among other things,...
متن کاملThe Blandford-znajek Mechanism and Emission from Isolated Accreting Black Holes
In the presence of a magnetic field, rotational energy can be extracted from black holes via the Blandford-Znajek mechanism. We use self-similar advection dominated accretion (ADAF) models to estimate the efficiency of this mechanism for black holes accreting from geometrically thick disks, in the light of recent magnetohydrodynamic disk simulations, and show that the power from electromagnetic...
