Temperature Profile of Black Hole Accretion Disc with Magnetic Coupling

Two new mapping relations between the angular coordinate on the black hole (BH) horizon and radialcoordinate on the disc are given according to the requirement of general relativity and Maxwell‘s equations, and theeffects of magnetic coupling (MC) on temperature of accretion disc are investigated by comparing with pure accretion.It is shown that the MC effects on the temperature profile are related intimately to the BH spin, and the influenceon the peak value of disc temperature based on the modified mapping relations is not as great as that based on thelinear mapping.The peak value and the corresponding radius of peak value ring of disc temperature do not increasemonotonically as the increasing spin of BH, each containing a maximum for the fast-spinning BH. The value ranges ofthe bolometric luminosity and color temperature of the disc are both extended by the MC effects.     

Dark Energy Accretion onto a Black Hole in an Expanding Universe

By using the solution describing a black hole embedded in the FLRW universe, we obtain the evolving equation of the black hole mass expressed in terms of the cosmological parameters. The evolving equation indicates that in the phantom dark energy universe the black hole mass becomes zero before the Big Rip is reached.     

Nucleosynthesis in Advection-Dominated Accretion Flow onto a Black Hole

Nucleosynthesis in advection-dominated accretion flow(ADAF) onto a black hole is proposed to be an important role in chemical evolution around compact stars. We investigate the nucleosynthesis in ADAF relevant for a black hole of low mass,different from that of the self-similar solution. in particular,the presence of supersolar metal mass fractions of some isotopes seems to be associated with the known black hole nucleosynthesis in ADAF,which offers further evidence of diversity of the chemical enrichment.     

Two Kinds of Magnetic Connection in Black-Hole Accretion Disc

We discuss two kinds of magnetic connection （MC） in the black hole （BH） accretion disc： the magnetic connection between the BH and the disc （MCHD） and that between the plunging region and the disc （MCPD）. The magnetic field configuration is produced by an electric current flowing at the inner edge of the disc. It turns out that the transfer direction of energy and angular momentum depends on the BH spin and a parameter λ for adjusting the angular velocities of the plunging matter, which corresponds to at most five regions in the disc. The effect of MCPD results in a much steeper emissivity than a standard accretion disc in the inner disc, however it fails to reach the observation range 4.3-5.5 in several objects, such as Seyfert 1 galaxy MCG-6-30-15, microquasars XTE J1650-500 and GX 399-4.     

Standing Rankine-Hugoniot Shocks in Black Hole Accretion Discs

We study the problem of standing shocks in viscous disc-like accretion flows around black holes. For the first time we parametrize such a flow with two physical constants, namely the specific angular momentum accreted by the black hole j and the energy quantity K. By providing the global dependence of shock formation in the j- K parameter space, we show that a significant parameter region can ensure solutions with Rankine-Hugoniot shocks; and that the possibilities of shock formation are the largest for inviscid flows, decreasing with increasing viscosity, and ceasing to exist for a strong enough viscosity. Our results support the view that the standing shock is an essential ingredient in black hole accretion discs and is a general phenomenon in astrophysics, and that there should be a continuous change from the properties of inviscid flows to those of viscous ones.     

Accretion of Phantom Energy by Bardeen Black Hole

In this paper we deal with the accretion of phantom energy onto static spherically symmetric Bardeen black hole. It is shown that the mass of black hole reduces with the accretion of phantom energy. We compute accretion rate onto Bardeen black hole at critical point. Furthermore, we obtain the conditions at critical point, under which accretion is possible and also discuss certain relevant cases. Finally, we discuss the validity of generalized second law of thermodynamics at the event horizon of Bardeen black hole.     

Phantom Accretion onto the Schwarzschild AdS Black Hole with Topological Defect

In this paper, we have studied phantom energy accretion of prefect fluid onto the Schwarzschild AdS black hole with topological defect. We have obtained critical point during the accretion of fluid on the black hole where the speed of flow is equal speed of sound (Sharif and Abbas in Phantom accretion onto the Schwarzschild de-Sitter black hole, 2011, [gr-qc]). The critical velocities have been computed so that the speed of fluid into the black hole is less than speed of sound. Finally, we have found that the critical point is near the black hole horizon.     

Sonic Point Instability in the Causally Limited Viscosity and Magnetized Accretion Disc

The stability of sonic point in an isothermal accretion disc is examined for the case in which the causally limited viscosity and magnetic fields coexist. The results show that the sonic point is a saddle and stable against small amplitude perturbations. Finally, we discuss these results.     

Effects of Lorentz Breaking on the Accretion onto a Schwarzschild-like Black Hole

We formulate and solve the problem of spherically symmetric, steady state, adiabatic accretion onto a Schwarzschild-like black hole obtained recently. We derive the general analytic expressions for the critical points, the critical velocity, the critical speed of sound, and subsequently the mass accretion rate. The case for polytropic gas is discussed in detail. We find the parameter characterizing the breaking of Lorentz symmetry will slow down the mass accretion rate, while has no effect on the gas compression and the temperature profile below the critical radius and at the event horizon.     

Quasinormal Modes of Electromagnetic Perturbation around a Stringy Black Hole

We investigate the electromagnetic perturbation around a stringy black hole. A second-order differential equation is obtained for the perturbation. The variation of the effective potential with r is presented. The complex frequencies of the quasinormal modes of electromagnetic perturbation around a stringy black hole are computed by the third Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin （WKB） approximation. The results show that the parameters resulted from the compactification of higher dimensions can influence the quasinormal complex frequencies, and the Maxwell field around a stringy black hole damps more slowly than that around a Schwarzschild black hole.     

Stability of Circular Orbits around a Tidal Charged Black Hole

We study the effects of the tidal charge on the equatorial circular motion of neutral test particles near a tidal charged black hole. This analysis investigates stable as well as unstable circular orbits in all possible configurations of nonextremal and extremal cases. It is found that a negative tidal charge will increase the energy and angular momentum of a neutral test particle moving around a black hole. We obtain a continuous region of stability for both extremal and nonextremal cases. We conclude that the region of stability as well as radius of last stable circular orbit shows increasing behavior for Q < 0.     

Neutral Particle Motion around a Schwarzschild Black Hole in Modified Gravity

We investigate circular motion of neutral test particles on equatorial plane near a black hole in scalar-tensor-vector gravity. We consider three cases (i) α < G/G_N (ii) α = G/G_N and (iii) α > G/G_N to find the regions where motion can exist. The corresponding effective potential, energy, angular momentum and center of mass energy are evaluated. Further, we define four different cases for α > G/G_N and identify stable and unstable regions of circular orbits. It is found that circular orbits having zero angular momentum exist at r = αGNM due to repulsive gravity effects. We conclude that the structure of stable regions for α < G/G_N as well as α = G/G_N case is completely different from that of α > G/G_N.     

A Toy Model for Magnetic Field Configurations in Black Hole Accretion Discs

We discuss the feature of the magnetic field configuration arising from double counter oriented electric currentrings in the accretion disc around a Kerr black hole （BH）. We discuss the relevant physical quantities corresponding to this configuration： （1） the power and torque transferred by the large-scale magnetic field, （2） the angular momentum and energy fluxes transferred from the BIt to the inner disc, （3） the radiation flux from the disc. In addition, we discuss the possibility that the closed magnetic field anchored at the disc probably evolves to the open magnetic field, which is helpful to produce the jet from the disc.     

The Radial-Azimuthal Instability of a Radiation-Pressure-Dominated Accretion Disk with Advection

A radial-azimuthal instability analysis of a radiation-pressure-dominated accretion disk with advection is presented. We find that the including of a very little advection has significant effect on two acoustic modes, which are no longer complex conjugates of each other. With the increase of azimuthal perturbations, the thermal mode becomes more unstable and the viscous mode more stable, but there has no effect on acoustic mode. For geometrically slim and advection-dominated disks, the azimuthal perturbation and increasing of advection do not affect the stability of all the modes.     

Current Jumps and Hysteresis in a Single-ended Q-Machine in Connection with the Electrostatic Ion-Cyclotron Instability

We report on an investigation in a single-ended Q-machine where the current-voltage characteristic of a small collector showed some interesting new features. The most interesting of these was a sudden jump of the current at the onset of the electrostatic ion-cyclotron instability. This jump was also accompanied by hysteresis. Besides that, the characteristic showed another trivial type of hysteresis that was only due to a temporary covering of the collector by alkaline metal from the plasma. The former phenomenon could be an indication that the well-known nonlinear potential structures that appear periodically in front of the collector during a cycle of a high-amplitude electrostatic ion-cyclotron instability, are related to inelastic collisions of accelerated electrons with alkaline vapour present in the plasma column.     

Magnetoelastic Instability of a Long Graphene Nano-Ribbon Carrying Electric Current

This paper aims at investigating the resonance frequencies and stability of a long Graphene Nano-Ribbon (GNR) carrying electric current. The governing equation of motion is obtained based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam model along with Hamilton's principle. The transverse force distribution on the GNR due to the interaction of the electric current with its own magnetic field is determined by the Biot-Savart and Lorentz force laws. Using Galerkin's method, the governing equation is solved and the effect of current strength and dimensions of the GNR on the stability and resonance frequencies are investigated.     

Superradiant Instability of D-Dimensional Reissner–Nordstr?m Black Hole Mirror System

We analytically study the superradiant instability of charged massless scalar field in the background of D-dimensional Reissner–Nordstr¨om(RN) black hole caused by mirror-like boundary condition. By using the asymptotic matching method to solve the Klein–Gordon equation that governs the dynamics of scalar field, we have derived the expressions of complex parts of boxed quasinormal frequencies, and shown they are positive in the regime of superradiance.This indicates the charged scalar field is unstable in D-dimensional Reissner–Nordstr¨om(RN) black hole surrounded by mirror. However, the numerical work to calculate the boxed quasinormal frequencies in this system is still required in the future.     

Hawking Tunneling Radiation of a Particle with Electric and Magnetic Charge from Kerr-Newman-Kasuya Black Hole

Extending the Parikh＇s quantum tunneling method of an uncharged particle, we investigate the quantum radiation characteristics of a particle with electric and magnetic charge via tunneling from the event horizon of the Kerr-Newman Kasuya black hole. The derived result supports the Parikh＇s opinion and the correction to the thermal spectrum is of precisely the form that satisfies the underlying unitary quantum theory, and finally provides a might explanation to the black hole information puzzle.
