The launching of astrophysical jets provides the most compelling observational evidence for direct extraction of black hole (BH) spin energy via the Blandford-Znajek (BZ) mechanism. Whilst it is known that spinning Kerr BHs within general…
We study scalar field configurations around Kerr black holes with a time-independent energy-momentum tensor. These stationary `scalar clouds', confined near the black hole (BH) by their own mass or a mirror at fixed radius, exist at the…
We investigate the extraction of energy from a Kerr black hole via Alfv\'en waves (i.e., Alfv\'enic superradiance) in a force-free magnetosphere, in which the plasma inertia effects are ignored. We analyze the Poynting flux generated by…
Numerical simulations of the force-free magnetodynamics (FFMD) of the electromagnetic field around a spinning black hole are useful to investigate the dynamic electromagnetic processes around a spinning black hole, such as the emergence of…
The rotational energy of a black hole can be extracted via the Blandford-Znajek mechanism and numerical simulations suggest a strong dependence of the power of the produced jet on the black hole spin. A recent study has found no evidence…
We calculate the evolution of the prompt intrinsic Poynting power generated by merging black holes. Orbiting black holes induce rotation of the space-time. In a presence of magnetic field supported by an accretion disk outside of the orbit,…
We examine energy conversion from accreting pair plasma to outgoing Poynting flux by black hole rotation. Our approach is based on a two-fluid model consisting of collisionless pair plasma. The electric potential is not constant along…
(Abridged) An issue of considerable interest in the theory of jet formation by the Blandford-Znajek mechanism, is how plasma is being continuously supplied to the magnetosphere to maintain it in a force-free state. Injection of…
Recently, it has been demonstrated by Comisso and Asenjo that magnetic reconnection processes in the ergosphere of a Kerr black hole can provide us with a promising mechanism for extracting the rotational energy from it. In this paper, we…
We present analytic force-free solutions modeling rotating stars and black holes immersed in the magnetic field of a thin disk that terminates at an inner radius. The solutions are exact in flat spacetime and approximate in Kerr spacetime.…
The effect of an accretion disk on the Blandford-Znajek process and the evolution of a black hole are discussed using a simplified system for the black hole - accretion disk in which the accretion rate is supposed to be dominated by the…
We investigate mechanisms of energy extraction from a rotating black hole in terms of negative energy-at-infinity. In addition to the Penrose process through particle fission, the Blandford-Znajek mechanism by magnetic tension, and the…
We calculate the advection/diffusion of the large-scale magnetic field threading an ADAF, and find that the magnetic field can be dragged inward by the accretion flow efficiently, if the magnetic Prandtl number P~1. This is due to the large…
In this letter we briefly describe the first results of our numerical study on the possibility of magnetic origin of relativistic jets of long duration gamma ray bursters within the collapsar scenario. We track the collapse of massive…
Most quasars are known to be radio quiet and according to the ``spin paradigm'', which connects their radio-loudness with the value of the black hole spin, they must harbor very slowly rotating black holes. On the other hand, quasars are…
Evolution characteristics of a Kerr black hole (BH) are investigated by considering coexistence of disc accretion with the Blandford-Znajek process (the BZ process). (i) The rate of extracting energy from the rotating BH in the BZ process…
Magnetized accretion onto spinning black holes can accumulate a large magnetic flux across the event horizon and launch a pair of relativistic jets via the Blandford-Znajek mechanism. In the magnetically saturated (arrested) state, excess…
The structural properties of geodesic currents in an ambient Kerr background is studied from an analytical point of view. The geodesics in the congruence correspond to charged particles that carry energy and angular momentum from the black…
A resistive magnetohydrodynamics simulation with a dynamo term is performed for modeling the collapsar in full general relativity. As an initial condition, a spinning black hole and infalling stellar matter are modeled based on a stellar…
Blandford-Znajek (BZ) mechanism has usually been studied in the literature for accretion with considerably high angular momentum leading either to the formation of a cold Keplerian disc, or a hot and geometrically thick sub-Keplerian flow…
