Blandford-Znajek效应的自旋依赖性

The spin dependence of the Blandford-Znajek effect

David Garofalo

摘要:

大尺度磁场与旋转黑洞的事件视界的相互作用(Blandford-Znajek [1977]机制)形成了大多数相对论性喷流的某些模型的基础。我们探讨了吸积流中心向内的“俯冲”区域增强了大尺度极向场对黑洞的捕获的情形。这项研究是在克尔时空中使用完全相对论性处理进行的,重点是确定布兰德福德-兹纳杰克效应的自旋依赖性。我们发现,大规模的磁场增强的黑洞相比,内部吸积流,并容易发生这种情况下较低的反式黑洞自旋,产生自旋依赖的布兰德福德-Znajek效应,有吸引力的应用程序,最近的观察。其中之一是艾伦等人(2006年)在X射线发光椭圆星系中观测到的推断吸积率和核喷流功率之间的相关性。如果这些椭圆星系中的黑洞旋转与内吸积盘中的黑洞旋转相比是在反方向上,我们证明了隐含的喷流产生效率的绝对值和均匀性都可以用通量捕获模型来解释。从这项研究中出现的基本情况是,一系列中等值的黑洞自旋可能为这些活动星系核提供动力。我们还认为,在最具活力的射电星系的喷流可能是由吸积到{ \it逆行}快速旋转的黑洞。

英文摘要:

The interaction of large scale magnetic fields with the event horizon of rotating black holes (the Blandford-Znajek [1977] mechanism) forms the basis for some models of the most relativistic jets. We explore a scenario in which the central inward "plunging" region of the accretion flow enhances the trapping of large scale poloidal field on the black hole. The study is carried out using a fully relativistic treatment in Kerr spacetime, with the focus being to determine the spin dependence of the Blandford-Znajek effect. We find that large scale magnetic fields are enhanced on the black hole compared to the inner accretion flow and that the ease with which this occurs for lower prograde black hole spin, produces a spin dependence in the Blandford-Znajek effect that has attractive applications to recent observations. Among these is the correlation between inferred accretion rate and nuclear jet power observed by Allen et al. (2006) in X-ray luminous elliptical galaxies. If the black hole rotation in these elliptical galaxies is in the prograde sense compared with that of the inner accretion disk, we show that both the absolute value and the uniformity of the implied jet-production efficiency can be explained by the flux-trapping model. The basic scenario that emerges from this study is that a range of intermediate values of black hole spins could be powering these AGN. We also suggest that the jets in the most energetic radio-galaxies may be powered by accretion onto {\it retrograde} rapidly-rotating black holes.
