In this work we aim to investigate non-mainstream thick tori configurations around Kerr Black Holes with Scalar Hair (KBHsSH). For that goal, we provide a first approach using constant specific angular momentum non-self-gravitating Polish…
Analytical models of magnetized, geometrically thick disks are relevant to understand the physical conditions of plasma around compact objects and to explore its emitting properties. This has become increasingly important in recent years in…
We present the first family of magnetically polarized equilibrium tori around a Kerr black hole. The models were obtained in the test fluid approximation by assuming that the tori is a linear media, making it is possible to characterize the…
We investigate Polish doughnuts with a uniform constant specific angular momentum distribution in the space-times of rotating boson stars. In such space-times thick tori can exhibit unique features not present in Kerr space-times. For…
The Kerr black hole spacetime is symmetric with respect to a well-defined equatorial plane. When such a symmetry is broken, for instance, by some putative effects beyond general relativity, the Keplerian circular orbits around the black…
We propose a simple model for an optically thick radiative torus in local thermodynamic equilibrium around a Kerr black hole. The hydrodynamics structure, which is not affected by the radiation field, is the same as for the so--called…
We investigate stationary, self-gravitating, magnetised disks (or tori) around black holes. The models are obtained by numerically solving the coupled system of the Einstein equations and the equations of ideal general-relativistic…
We present a numerical study of the dynamics of magnetized, relativistic, non-self-gravitating, axisymmetric tori orbiting in the background spacetimes of Schwarzschild and Kerr black holes. The initial models have a constant specific…
We investigate the local stability of strongly magnetized relativistic tori orbiting Kerr black holes, for the case of a purely toroidal magnetic field topology. Our approach encompasses both solving the full dispersion relation numerically…
Non-selfgravitating equilibrium tori orbiting around black holes have a long history and have been employed in numerous simulations of accretion flows onto black holes and other compact objects. We have revisited the problem of constructing…
We revisit the Polish doughnut model of accretion disks providing a comprehensive analytical description of the Polish doughnut structure. We describe a perfect fluid circularly orbiting around a Schwarzschild black hole, source of the…
Testing the true nature of black holes - the no-hair hypothesis - will become increasingly more precise in the next few years as new observational data is collected in both the gravitational wave channel and the electromagnetic channel. In…
We study geometrically thick perfect-fluid tori with constant specific angular momentum, so-called "Polish doughnuts", orbiting deformed compact objects with a quadrupole moment. More specifically, we consider two different asymptotically…
The dynamics of accretion discs around galactic and extragalactic black holes may be influenced by their magnetic field. In this paper we generalise the fully relativistic theory of stationary axisymmetric tori in Kerr metric of Abramowicz…
We present new equilibrium solutions of stationary models of magnetized thick disks (or tori) around Kerr black holes with synchronised scalar hair. The models reported here largely extend our previous results based on constant radial…
This paper presents an initial survey of the properties of accretion flows in the Kerr metric from three-dimensional, general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of accretion tori. We consider three fiducial models of tori around…
We discuss the conditions for the existence of extended matter configurations orbiting in the ergoregion or close to the outer ergosurface of the Kerr black hole ("dragged" configurations). The corotating tori under consideration are…
We analyze the possibility that several instability points may be formed, due to the Paczy\'nski mechanism of violation of mechanical equilibrium, in the orbiting matter around a supermassive Kerr black hole. We consider recently proposed…
From a theoretical perspective, matter accretion processes around compact objects are highly relevant as they serve as a natural laboratory to test general relativity in the strong field regime. This enables us to validate fundamental…
We present a comprehensive numerical study of the dynamics of relativistic axisymmetric accretion tori with a power-law distribution of specific angular momentum orbiting in the background spacetime of a Kerr black hole. By combining…
