Electromagnetic extraction of energy from Kerr black holes
نویسنده
چکیده
We elucidate the ‘right’ process for energy extraction from Kerr black holes through ‘FFDE’ magnetospheres, free from causality violation. It is shown that the magnetosphere of a Kerr black hole possesses the double-structure, consisting of the inner and outer magnetospheres with the pair-creation gap between them and with respective unipolar batteries at the inner and outer surfaces of the gap.

Energy Extraction from Black Holes
In this lecture I give an introduction to the rotational energy extraction of black holes by the electromagnetic Blandford-Znajek process and the generation of relativistic jets. After some basic material on the electrodynamics of black hole magnetospheres, we derive the most important results of Blandford and Znajek by making use of Kerr-Schild coordinates, which are regular on the horizon. In...
متن کاملEnergy Extraction from Higher Dimensional Black Holes and Black Rings
We analyze the energy extraction by the Penrose process in higher dimensions. Our result shows the efficiency of the process from higher dimensional black holes and black rings can be rather high compared with than that in four dimensional Kerr black hole. In particular, if one rotation parameter vanishes, the maximum efficiency becomes infinitely large because the angular momentum is not bound...
متن کاملCalculation 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 کاملCardy-Verlinde Formula and Kerr-Newman-AdS4 and two rotation parameters Kerr-AdS5 black holes
The Cardy-Verlinde formula, which expresses the entropy of the conformal field theory in terms of its total energy (or the extensive energy), Casimir energy and radius of the unit sphere S, is further verified by using the Kerr-Newman-AdS4 and the two rotation parameters Kerr-AdS5 black holes. For the Kerr-Newman-AdS4 black hole we find that to cast the entropy of the conformal field theory int...
متن کاملMaximum black-hole spin from quasicircular binary mergers
Black holes of mass M must have a spin angular momentum S below the Kerr limit ( S=M 1), but whether astrophysical black holes can attain this limiting spin depends on their accretion history. Gas accretion from a thin disk limits the black-hole spin to gas & 0:9980 0:0002, as electromagnetic radiation from this disk with retrograde angular momentum is preferentially absorbed by the black hole....
