Higher dimensional non-Kerr black hole and energy extraction

arXiv:1309.5519 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.89.024023

Abstract

We investigate the properties of the horizons and ergosphere in a rotating higher dimensional (HD) deformed Kerr-like black hole. We also explicitly bring out the effect of deformation parameter and the extra dimension on the efficiency of the Penrose process of energy extraction from a black hole. It is interesting to see that the ergosphere size is sensitive to the deformation parameter as well as spacetime dimensions . This gives rise to a much richer structure of the ergosphere in a HD non-Kerr black hole, thereby making the Penrose process more efficient compared with that of the four-dimensional Kerr black hole.
