Electromagnetic self-force on a charged particle on Kerr spacetime: equatorial circular orbits
arXiv:2008.12703 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.106.024024
Abstract
We calculate the self-force acting on a charged particle on a circular geodesic orbit in the equatorial plane of a rotating black hole. We show by direct calculation that the dissipative self-force balances with the sum of the flux radiated to infinity and through the black hole horizon. Prograde orbits are found to stimulate black hole superradiance, but we confirm that the condition for floating orbits cannot be met. We calculate the conservative component of the self-force by application of the mode sum regularization method, and we present a selection of numerical results. By numerical fitting, we extract the leading-order coefficients in post-Newtonian expansions. The self-force on the innermost stable circular orbits of the Kerr spacetime is calculated, and comparisons are drawn between the electromagnetic and gravitational self forces.
