    Efficiency of the Keplerian accretion in braneworld Kerr-Newman spacetimes and mining instability of some naked singularity spacetimes

    by Zdeněk Stuchlík· Říjen 01, 2016· in Fyzika· 0 comments
    We show that the braneworld rotating Kerr-Newman black hole and naked singularity spacetimes with both positive and negative braneworld tidal charge parameters can be separated into 14 classes according to the properties of circular geodesics governing the Keplerian accretion. We determine the efficiency of the Keplerian accretion disks for all braneworld Kerr-Newman spacetimes. We demonstrate the occurrence of an infinitely deep gravitational potential in Kerr-Newman naked singularity spacetimes having the braneworld dimensionless tidal charge b ∈(1 /4 ,1 ) and the dimensionless spin a ∈(2 √{b }-√{b (4 b -1 ) } , 2 √{b }+√{b (4 b -1 ) }) , implying unbound efficiency of the Keplerian accretion and the possibility of extracting the whole naked singularity mass. Therefore, we call them braneworld "mining-unstable" Kerr-Newman naked singularity spacetimes. Fundamental restriction on the relevance of the extraordinary—but fully classical—phenomenon of the mining instability is given by validity of the assumption of geodesic motion of the accreting matter.

    Energy extraction and particle acceleration around a rotating black hole in quintessence

    by Zdeněk Stuchlík· Srpen 01, 2016· in Fyzika· 0 comments
    We study motion and collision of particles in the gravitational field of rotating black hole immersed in quintessential dark energy characterized with the quintessential parameter ωqin(-1;-1/3) governing the equation of state of the dark energy, and the dimensionless quintessential field parameter tilde{c}. We focus on the acceleration of particles due to collisional processes and show how the center of mass energy depends on the quintessential field parameter tilde{c}. We also make comparison of the obtained results to the collisional energetics of quintessential static black holes demonstrating the crucial role of the rotation parameter a in the particle acceleration. Finally we study the dependence of the maximal value of the efficiency of energy extraction through Penrose process for rotating black hole with quintessential field parameter tilde{c}. It is found that quintessence field decreases the energy extraction efficiency through Penrose process and when the parameter tilde{c} vanishes one can get the standard value of the efficiency coefficient for the Kerr black hole as η̃ 21 %.

    Shadow of rotating wormhole in plasma environment

    by Zdeněk Stuchlík· Červenec 01, 2016· in Fyzika· 0 comments
    The massless particle motion around rotating wormhole in the presence of plasma environment has been studied. It has been shown that the presence of the plasma decreases the inner radius of the circular orbits of photons around rotating wormhole. The shadow cast by rotating wormhole surrounded by inhomogeneous plasma with the radial power-law density has been explored. It has been shown that the shape and size of the wormhole shadow is distorted and changed depending on i) plasma parameters, ii) wormhole rotation and iii) inclination angle between observer plane and axis of rotation of wormhole. As an example we have considered an inverse radial distribution of the plasma density and different types of the wormhole solution.

    Controversy of the GRO J1655-40 Black Hole Mass and Spin Estimates and Its Possible Solutions

    by Zdeněk Stuchlík· Červenec 01, 2016· in Fyzika· 0 comments
    Estimates of the black hole mass M and the dimensionless spin a in the microquasar GRO J1655-40 implied by strong gravity effects related to the timing and spectral measurements are controversial, if the mass restriction determined by the dynamics related to independent optical measurements, M opt = (5.4 ± 0.3) M ☉, is applied. The timing measurements of twin high-frequency (HF) quasiperiodic oscillations (QPOs) with the frequency ratio 3:2 and the simultaneously observed low-frequency (LF) QPO imply spin in the range ain (0.27{--}0.29) if models based on the frequencies of geodesic epicyclic motion are used to fit the timing measurements, and the correlated creation of the twin HF QPOs and the LF QPO at a common radius is assumed. On the other hand, the spectral continuum method implies ain (0.65{--}0.75), and the Fe-line-profile method implies ain (0.94{--}0.98). This controversy can be cured if we abandon the assumption of the occurrence of the twin HF QPOs and the simultaneously observed LF QPO at a common radius. We demonstrate that the epicyclic resonance model of the twin HF QPOs is able to predict the spin in agreement with the Fe-profile method, but no model based on the geodesic epicyclic frequencies can be in agreement with the spectral continuum method. We also show that the non-geodesic string loop oscillation model of twin HF QPOs predicts spin a > 0.3 under the optical measurement limit on the black hole mass, which is in agreement with both the spectral continuum and Fe-profile methods.

    The LOFT mission concept: a status update

    by Zdeněk Stuchlík· Červenec 01, 2016· in Fyzika· 0 comments
    The Large Observatory For x-ray Timing (LOFT) is a mission concept which was proposed to ESA as M3 and M4 candidate in the framework of the Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 program. Thanks to the unprecedented combination of effective area and spectral resolution of its main instrument and the uniquely large field of view of its wide field monitor, LOFT will be able to study the behaviour of matter in extreme conditions such as the strong gravitational field in the innermost regions close to black holes and neutron stars and the supra-nuclear densities in the interiors of neutron stars. The science payload is based on a Large Area Detector (LAD, >8m2 effective area, 2-30 keV, 240 eV spectral resolution, 1 degree collimated field of view) and a Wide Field Monitor (WFM, 2-50 keV, 4 steradian field of view, 1 arcmin source location accuracy, 300 eV spectral resolution). The WFM is equipped with an on- board system for bright events (e.g., GRB) localization. The trigger time and position of these events are broadcast to the ground within 30 s from discovery. In this paper we present the current technical and programmatic status of the mission.

    Quasinormal frequencies of black hole in the braneworld

    by Zdeněk Stuchlík· Červen 01, 2016· in Fyzika· 0 comments
    We study scalar, electromagnetic, axial, and polar gravitational perturbations of the four-dimensional Reissner-Nordström-like black holes with a tidal charge in the Randall-Sundrum braneworld in the first approximation when the tidal perturbations are not taken into account. The quasinormal modes of these perturbations have been studied in both normal and eikonal regimes. Calculations have shown that the black holes on the Randall-Sundrum brane are stable against all kinds of perturbations. Moreover, we determine the greybody factor, giving transmission and reflection of the scattered waves through the effective potentials. It has been shown that the scalar perturbative fields are the most favorite to reflect the wave as compared to the other fields. With increasing value of the tidal charge, the ability of the all perturbative potentials to reflect the waves decreases. Our calculations in low- and high-frequency regimes have shown that black holes on the braneworld always have a bigger absorption cross section of massless scalar waves than the Schwarzschild and standard Reissner-Nordström black holes.
