Orbital and epicyclic motion of charged test particles around non-rotating Einstein-Æther black holes

The study of charged test particle dynamics in the combined black hole gravitational field and magnetic field around it could provide important theoretical insight into astrophysical processes around such compact object. We have explored the orbital and epicyclic motion of charged test particles in the background of non-rotating Einstein-Æther black holes in the presence of external uniform magnetic field. We numerically integrate the equations of motion and analyze the trajectories of the charged test particles. We examined the stability of circular orbits using effective potential technique and study the characteristics of innermost stable circular orbits. We analyze the key features of quasi-harmonic oscillations of charged test particles nearby the stable circular orbits in an equatorial plane of the black hole, and investigate the radial profiles of the frequencies of latitudinal as well as radial harmonic oscillations in dependence on the strength of magnetic field, mass of the black hole and dimensionless coupling constants of the theory. We demonstrate that the magnetic field and dimensionless parameters of the theory have strong influence on charged particle motion around Einstein-Æther black holes.     

Bifurcation timescales in power spectra of black hole binaries and ultraluminous X-ray sources

For black hole binaries (BHBs) and active galactic nuclei (AGNs), bifurcation timescales (BTs) Δt _b exist, below which time-domain power is significantly higher than the corresponding Fourier power. Quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) are removed from the Fourier spectra of BHBs. A relationship between BT, black hole mass and bolometric luminosity is derived. Strong anti-correlation between BT and luminosity of Cyg X-1 is found. After removing the QPOs, BTs are also obtained for two ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs), M82 X-1 and NGC5408 X-1. The results support that they harbor intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs).

     

Motion of charged particles in a spacetime of a five dimensional rotating black hole in a magnetic field

We study the effect of an external magnetic field on the stability of circular motion around a five dimensional Myers–Perry metric. Using the Hamilton–Jacobi formalism we derive the effective potential for the radial motion of charged particles around a five dimensional rotating black hole in a uniform magnetic field. We show that there are stable circular orbits around a five dimensional rotating black hole immersed in a uniform magnetic field.     

Quantum corrections to the entropy of charged rotating black holes

Hawking radiation from a black hole can be viewed as quantum tunneling of particles through the event horizon. Using this approach we provide a general framework for studying corrections to the entropy of black holes beyond semiclassical approximations. Applying the properties of exact differentials for three variables to the first law thermodynamics, we study charged rotating black holes and explicitly work out the corrections to entropy and horizon area for the Kerr–Newman and charged rotating BTZ black holes. It is shown that the results for other geometries like the Schwarzschild, Reissner-Nordström and anti-de Sitter–Schwarzschild spacetimes follow easily.     

Charged string loops in Reissner–Nordström black hole background

We study the motion of current carrying charged string loops in the Reissner–Nordström black hole background combining the gravitational and electromagnetic field. Introducing new electromagnetic interaction between central charge and charged string loop makes the string loop equations of motion to be non-integrable even in the flat spacetime limit, but it can be governed by an effective potential even in the black hole background. We classify different types of the string loop trajectories using effective potential approach, and we compare the innermost stable string loop positions with loci of the charged particle innermost stable orbits. We examine string loop small oscillations around minima of the string loop effective potential, and we plot radial profiles of the string loop oscillation frequencies for both the radial and vertical modes. We construct charged string loop quasi-periodic oscillations model and we compare it with observed data from microquasars GRO 1655-40, XTE 1550-564, and GRS 1915+105. We also study the acceleration of current carrying string loops along the vertical axis and the string loop ejection from RN black hole neighbourhood, taking also into account the electromagnetic interaction.     

Weak Gravity Conjecture and extremal black holes

Motivated by the desire to improve our understanding of the Weak Gravity Conjecture, we compute the one-loop correction of charged particles to the geometry and entropy of extremal black holes in 4D. We use the entropy function formalism to extend previous analysis that dealt with neutral particles, and obtain the corrections to the horizon entropy for different regimes of black hole masses. These corrections are small in general. They are furthermore reduced when supersymmetry is present, and disappear in N = 4 supergravity. We provide some speculative arguments that in a theory with only sub-extremal particles, classical Reissner-Nordstrom black holes actually possess an infinite microcanonical entropy, though only a finite amount is visible to an external observer, as shown by the horizon entropy computation.     

Rotating Charged Hairy Black Hole in (2+1) Dimensions and Particle Acceleration

In this paper, we construct rotating charged hairy black hole in (2+1) dimensions for infinitesimal black hole charge and rotation parameters. Then we consider this black hole as particle accelerator and calculate the center-of-mass energy of two colliding test particles near the rotating charged hairy black hole in (2+1) dimensions. As we expected, the center-of-mass energy has infinite value.

Then we consider this black hole as particle accelerator and calculate the centerof-mass energy of two colliding test particles near the rotating charged hairy black hole in(2+1) dimensions. As we expected, the center-of-mass energy has infinite value.     

Radiation from relativistic particles in nongeodesic motion in a strong gravitational field

The scalar and electromagnetic radiation emitted by relativistic particles moving along the stable nongeodesic trajectories in the Kerr gravitational field are described. Two particular models of the nongeodesic motion are developed involving a slightly charged rotating black hole and a rotating black hole immersed in an external magnetic field.     

Hawking Radiation of Charged Particles via Tunneling from a Cylindrically Symmetric Black Hole in Anti-de Sitter Space-Time

Applying Parikh-Wilzcek＇s semi-classical quantum tunneling model, we study the Hawking radiation of charged particles as tunneling from the event horizon of a cylindrically symmetric black hole in anti-de Sitter space-time. The derived result shows that the tunneling rate of charged particles is related to the change of Bekenstein-Hawking entropy and that the radiation spectrum is not strictly pure thermal after taking the black hole background dynamical and self-gravitation interaction into account, but is consistent with the underlying unitary theory.     

Destroying Extremal Kerr-Newman-AdS Black Holes with Test Particles

Neglecting the self-force,self-energy and radiative effects,we follow the spirit of Wald's gedanken experiment and further discuss whether an extremal Kerr-Newman-AdS(KNA)black hole can turn into a naked singularity when it captures charged and spinning massive particles.It is found that feeding a test particle into an extremal KNA black hole could lead to a violation of cosmic censorship for the black hole.     

Thermodynamics inducing massive particles’ tunneling and cosmic censorship

By calculating the change of entropy, we prove that the first law of black hole thermodynamics leads to the tunneling probability of massive particles through the horizon, including the tunneling probability of massive charged particles from the Reissner–Nordström black hole and the Kerr–Newman black hole. Novelly, we find the trajectories of massive particles are close to that of massless particles near the horizon, although the trajectories of massive charged particles may be affected by electromagnetic forces. We show that Hawking radiation as massive particles tunneling does not lead to violation of the weak cosmic-censorship conjecture.     

Quantum gravity effect on the Hawking radiation of charged rotating BTZ black hole

In this study, the quantum gravity effect on the tunnelling radiation of charged massive spin-0 scalar particle from \(2+1\) dimensional charged rotating Banados–Teitelboim–Zanelli (BTZ) black hole is looked into by using the Hamilton–Jacobi approach. For this, we calculate the modified Hawking temperature of the black hole by using the modified Klein–Gordon equation based on the generalized uncertainty principle, and we noticed that the modified Hawking temperature of the black hole depends not only on the black hole properties, but also on the angular momentum, energy, charge and mass of the tunnelling scalar particle. Using the modified Hawking temperature, we discussed the stability of the black hole in the context of the modified heat capacity, and observed that it might undergo both first and 1 phase transitions in the presence of the quantum gravity effect, but just a first-type transition in the absence of the quantum gravity effect. Furthermore, we investigated the modified Hawking temperature of the black hole by using the tunnelling processes of the charged massive Dirac and vector boson particles. We observed that scalar, Dirac and vector particles are tunnelled from the black hole completely differently from each other in the presence of the quantum gravity effect.     

Motion and collision of particles near Plebanski-Demianski black hole: Shadow and gravitational lensing

Here we consider accelerating and rotating charged Plebanski-Demianski (PD) class of black hole metric as a particle accelerator. We obtain the geodesic motions (timelike, null and spacelike) of particles in a non-equatorial plane around the PD black hole. We find the effective potential, energy, angular momentum, impact parameters, and discuss the circular orbit. We study the center of mass energy of two neutral particles falling from infinity to near the non-extremal horizons (event and Cauchy horizons), extremal horizon, accelerating horizons, and near the center of the PD black hole. Also, we study the collision of a particle and a massless photon. Then we find the center of mass energy due to the collision of two massless photons in the PD black hole background. We compute the redshift and blueshift of the emitted photons by massive particles while light signal travels along null geodesics towards the observer located far away from the source. We study the Penrose process, which occurs within the ergosphere, and examines the particle’s motion with its implications. Here, we analyze the PD black hole shadow’s apparent shape, which forms far away from the black hole. We study the possible visibility of the PD black hole through photon’s shadow and energy emission rate. We also investigate the effect on the shadow of the PD black hole in plasma for a distant observer. We study the strong gravitational lensing by PD black hole. Finally, we analyze the deflection angle, lens equation, position, magnification, Einstein ring and observables by taking the supermassive PD black hole in the Galaxy’s center.     

Electron-positron outflow from black holes

Cosmological gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) appear as the brightest transient phenomena in the Universe. The nature of their central engine is a missing link in the theory of fireballs to stellar mass progenitors, and may be associated with low mass black holes. In contact with an external magnetic field B, black hole spin produces a gravitational potential on the wave function of charged particles. We show that a rapidly rotating black hole of mass M produces outflow from initially electrostatic equilibrium with normalized isotropic emission approximately 10(48)(B/B(c))(2)(M/7M)(2)sin (2) theta erg/s, where B(c) = 4.4x10(13) G. The half-opening angle satisfies theta >or = square root[B(c)/3B]. The outflow proposed as input to GRB fireball models.     

On the marginally trapped surfaces in 4-dimensional space-times with finite type Gauss map

In this paper we have studied the possibility of the center-of-mass energy of two particles colliding near the horizon of a static charged black hole in string theory. Various cases corresponding to the electric charge and the angular momentum of the particles were considered. The studies were done for the general black hole as well as for the extreme black hole. There were two scenarios where the center-of-mass energy reach very large values if the appropriate properties of the particles are chosen.     

Black hole evaporation in a noncommutative charged Vaidya model

We study the black hole evaporation and Hawking radiation for a noncommutative charged Vaidya black hole. For this purpose, we determine a spherically symmetric charged Vaidya model and then formulate a noncommutative Reissner-Nordstr?m-like solution of this model, which leads to an exact (t ? r)-dependent metric. The behavior of the temporal component of this metric and the corresponding Hawking temperature are investigated. The results are shown in the form of graphs. Further, we examine the tunneling process of charged massive particles through the quantum horizon. We find that the tunneling amplitude is modified due to noncommutativity. Also, it turns out that the black hole evaporates completely in the limits of large time and horizon radius. The effect of charge is to reduce the temperature from a maximum value to zero. We note that the final stage of black hole evaporation is a naked singularity.     

Implementing Black Hole as Efficient Power Plant *

Treating the black hole molecules as working substance and considering its phase structure, we study the black hole heat engine by a charged anti-de Sitter black hole. In the reduced temperature-entropy chart, it is found that the work, heat, and efficiency of the engine are free of the black hole charge. Applying the Rankine cycle with or without a back pressure mechanism to the black hole heat engine, the compact formula for the efficiency is obtained. And the heat, work and efficiency are worked out. The result shows that the black hole engine working along the Rankine cycle with a back pressure mechanism has a higher efficiency. This provides a novel and efficient mechanism to produce the useful mechanical work, and such black hole heat engine may act as a possible energy source for the high energy astrophysical phenomena near the black hole.     

Acceleration of particles by nonrotating charged black holes?

Recently, in the series of works a new effect of acceleration of particles by black holes has been found. Under certain conditions, the energy in the center-of-mass system can become infinitely large. The essential ingredient of such effect is the rotation of a black hole. In this work, it has been argued that the similar effect exists for a nonrotating but charged black hole even for the simplest case of radial motion of particles in the Reissner-Nordström background. All main features of the effect under discussion due to rotating black holes have their counterpart for the nonrotating charged ones.     

Deformed Hamilton-Jacobi Equations and the Tunneling Radiation of the Higher-Dimensional RN-(A)dS Black Hole

In this paper, we derive the deformed Hamilton-Jacobi equations from the generalized Klein-Gordon equation and generalized Dirac equation. Then, we study the tunneling rate, Hawking temperature and entropy of the higher-dimensional Reissner-Nordström de Sitter black hole via the deformed Hamilton-Jacobi equation. Our results show that the deformed Hamilton-Jacobi equations for charged scalar particles and charged fermions have the same expressions. Besides, the modified Hawking temperatures and entropy are related to the mass and charge of the black hole, the cosmology constant, the quantum number of emitted particles, and the term of GUP effects β.
