Nonthermal radiation of a Kerr black hole is considered as tunneling of created particles through an effective Dirac gap. In the leading semiclassical approximation this approach is applicable to bosons as well. Our semiclassical results…

We investigate the production of ultra-high-energy cosmic ray (UHECR) in jets from low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGN). We propose a model for the UHECR contribution from the spin-down power of black holes (BHs) in LLAGN, which…

We investigate the effects of the convection in the hyperaccretion disk around a stellar-mass black hole, which is considered to be the central engine of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), with simple analytical calculations. If the convective energy…

The observational data on ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECR), in particular their mass composition, show strong indications for extremely hard spectra of individual mass groups of CR nuclei at Earth. In this work, we show that such hard…

The emission from black hole binaries (BHBs) and active galactic nuclei (AGNs) displays significant aperiodic variabilities. The most promising explanation for these variabilities is the propagating fluctuations in the accretion flow. It is…

According to Blandford & Znajek (1977), energy can be extracted electromagnetically from a rotating black hole, should the latter be endowed with a magnetic field supported by electric currents in a surrounding disk. We show that exact…

Two related topics are discussed. 1. Accretion onto black holes at low and high (though not very high) rates is believed to proceed adiabatically ({\em ie} non-radiatively). It is argued that the liberated energy is carried off by an…
