Abstract:
We present results of our study of charged-fluid toroidal structures surrounding a non-rotating black hole surrounded by a dipole and large-scale, asymptotically uniform magnetic fields. In continuation of our former study of electrically charged matter in approximation of zero conductivity, we demonstrate the existence of orbiting structures in the equatorial plane, levitating above it and those hovering near the symmetry axis. We constrain the range of black-hole, magnetic fields and matter parameters that allow stable configurations of the fluid structures and derive the geometrical shape of equi-pressure surfaces, characterizing the temperature and other astrophysical characteristic profiles. Our simplified analytical study suggests that these regions of stability may be relevant for trapping electrically charged particles and dust grains in some areas of the black hole magnetosphere, being thus important in some astrophysical situations.
