2 00 6 Tidal Dynamics in Kerr Spacetime
نویسندگان
چکیده
The motion of free nearby test particles relative to a stable equatorial circular geodesic orbit about a Kerr source is investigated. It is shown that the nonlinear generalized Jacobi equation can be transformed in this case to an autonomous form. Tidal dynamics beyond the critical speed c/ √ 2 is studied. We show, in particular, that a free test particle vertically launched from the circular orbit parallel or antiparallel to the Kerr rotation axis is tidally accelerated if its initial relative speed exceeds c/ √ 2. Possible applications of our results to high-energy astrophysics are briefly mentioned.

Using the energy momentum complex given by Møller in 1978 based on the absolute parallelism, the energy distribution in Kerr spacetime is evaluated. The energy with this spacetime is found to be the same as it was earlier evaluated using different definitions mainly based on the metric tensor.

Dynamics of relativistic outflows along the rotation axis of a Kerr black hole is investigated using a simple model that takes into account the relativistic tidal force of the central source as well as the Lorentz force due to the large-scale electromagnetic field which is assumed to be present in the ambient medium. The evolution of the speed of the flow relative to the ambient medium is studi...

We use Fermi coordinates to calculate the canonical partition function for an ideal gas in a circular geodesic orbit in Schwarzschild spacetime. To test the validity of the results we prove theorems for limiting cases. We recover the Newtonian gas law subject only to tidal forces in the Newtonian limit. Additionally we recover the special relativistic gas law as the radius of the orbit increase...

Dynamics of relativistic outflows along the rotation axis of a Kerr black hole is investigated using a simple model and the evolution of the speed of the flow relative to the ambient medium is studied. We assume that a flow clump is under the influence of the relativistic tidal force of the central source as well as the Lorentz force due to the large-scale electromagnetic field that is assumed ...
