Kerr黑洞的约束替代物

Constraining alternatives to the Kerr black hole

摘要:

最近,事件视界望远镜(EHT)合作对超大质量致密天体M87 $^*$的阴影进行了观测,为探测强引力区开辟了一个新的窗口。本文研究了Kerr黑洞的两个可能的替代物所投射的阴影,并与M87 $^{*}$的阴影进行了比较。第一种选择是具有半径$r_0$和外部克尔几何形状的水平紧凑物体(HCO)。第二个是最近获得的一个参数($r_0$)的静态度量Simpson和Visser的旋转概括。后一种度量,通过使用纽曼-詹尼斯算法构造,是约翰森获得的参数化旋转非克尔几何的特殊情况。在这里,我们使用M87 $^{*}$观测的结果来约束这些备选方案的参数$r_0$。我们发现,对于EHT合作组报道的M87 $^{*}$的质量、倾角和阴影的角直径,参数$r_0$的最大值必须在$2.54r_{+}\leq r_{0,max}\leq 3.51r_{+}$范围内(对于无量纲自旋范围$0.5\leq a_{*}\leq 0.94$),$r_{+}$是Kerr黑洞在相应自旋值下的外视界半径.我们的结论是,这些黑洞替代品的$r_0$低于这个最大范围(即$r_0\leq r_{0,max}$)是一致的大小和偏离圆形的观测到的阴影的M87 $^{*}$。

英文摘要:

The recent observation of the shadow of the supermassive compact object M87$^*$ by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration has opened up a new window to probe the strong gravity regime. In this paper, we study shadows cast by two viable alternatives to the Kerr black hole, and compare them with the shadow of M87$^{*}$. The first alternative is a horizonless compact object (HCO) having radius $r_0$ and exterior Kerr geometry. The second one is a rotating generalisation of the recently obtained one parameter ($r_0$) static metric by Simpson and Visser. This latter metric, constructed by using the Newman-Janis algorithm, is a special case of a parametrised rotating non-Kerr geometry obtained by Johannsen. Here, we constrain the parameter $r_0$ of these alternatives using the results from M87$^{*}$ observation. We find that, for the mass, inclination angle and the angular diameter of the shadow of M87$^{*}$ reported by the EHT collaboration, the maximum value of the parameter $r_0$ must be in the range $2.54r_{+}\leq r_{0,max}\leq 3.51r_{+}$ for the dimensionless spin range $0.5\leq a_{*}\leq 0.94$, with $r_{+}$ being the outer horizon radius of the Kerr black hole at the corresponding spin value. We conclude that these black hole alternatives having $r_0$ below this maximum range (i.e. $r_0\leq r_{0,max}$) is consistent with the size and deviation from circularity of the observed shadow of M87$^{*}$.
