Kerr黑洞周围最内层稳定圆轨道粒子的碰撞

Collision of an innermost stable circular orbit particle around a Kerr black hole

Tomohiro Harada, Masashi Kimura

摘要:

导出了两个静止质量相同的粒子在Kerr黑洞赤道面上近视界碰撞的质心能量的一般公式。然后,我们将这个公式应用于一个从最内层稳定圆轨道(ISCO)坠落并与视界附近的另一个粒子碰撞的粒子。发现对于一个近最大旋转的黑洞,CM能量$E_{\rm cm}$的最大值由$E_{\rm cm}/(2m_{0})\simeq 1.40/\sqrt[4]{1-a_{*}^{2}}$给出,其中$m_{0}$是每个粒子的静止质量,$a_{*}$是无量纲Kerr参数.这与已知的粒子的上限相一致,该粒子在无穷远处开始静止,其系数为2。此外,我们还考虑了一个粒子与另一个粒子在ISCO上的碰撞,发现最大CM能量由$E_{\rm cm}/(2m_{0})\simeq 1.77/\sqrt[6]{1-a_{*}^{2}}$给出。鉴于ISCO的天体物理意义,这一结果意味着,如果我们可以采取黑洞自旋或$a_{*}\to 1$的最大极限,粒子可以碰撞周围的旋转黑洞具有任意高的CM能量,没有任何人为的微调在天体物理学的背景下。另一方面,即使我们考虑到索恩对自旋参数的限制,高度或中度相对论性碰撞预计会很自然地发生,因为$E_{\rm cm}/(2m_{0})$在视界附近需要6.95(最大)和3.86(一般),而在ISCO上$a_{*}=0.998$需要4.11(最大)和2.43(一般)。这意味着,在快速旋转的超大质量黑洞周围,紧凑物体的高速碰撞是自然预期的。吸积流到一个快速旋转的黑洞的影响也进行了讨论。

英文摘要:

We derive a general formula for the center-of-mass (CM) energy for the near-horizon collision of two particles of the same rest mass on the equatorial plane around a Kerr black hole. We then apply this formula to a particle which plunges from the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) and collides with another particle near the horizon. It is found that the maximum value of the CM energy $E_{\rm cm}$ is given by $E_{\rm cm}/(2m_{0})\simeq 1.40/\sqrt[4]{1-a_{*}^{2}}$ for a nearly maximally rotating black hole, where $m_{0}$ is the rest mass of each particle and $a_{*}$ is the nondimensional Kerr parameter. This coincides with the known upper bound for a particle which begins at rest at infinity within a factor of 2. Moreover, we also consider the collision of a particle orbiting the ISCO with another particle on the ISCO and find that the maximum CM energy is then given by $E_{\rm cm}/(2m_{0})\simeq 1.77/\sqrt[6]{1-a_{*}^{2}}$. In view of the astrophysical significance of the ISCO, this result implies that particles can collide around a rotating black hole with an arbitrarily high CM energy without any artificial fine-tuning in an astrophysical context if we can take the maximal limit of the black hole spin or $a_{*}\to 1$. On the other hand, even if we take Thorne's bound on the spin parameter into account, highly or moderately relativistic collisions are expected to occur quite naturally, for $E_{\rm cm}/(2m_{0})$ takes 6.95 (maximum) and 3.86 (generic) near the horizon and 4.11 (maximum) and 2.43 (generic) on the ISCO for $a_{*}=0.998$. This implies that high-velocity collisions of compact objects are naturally expected around a rapidly rotating supermassive black hole. Implications to accretion flows onto a rapidly rotating black hole are also discussed.
