Stable circular orbits in Kaluza-Klein black hole spacetimes
arXiv:2103.08581 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.103.124004
Abstract
Reducing motion of particles to a two-dimensional potential problem, we show that there are stable circular orbits around a squashed Kaluza-Klein black hole with a spherical horizon and multi-Kaluza-Klein black holes with two spherical horizons in five dimensions. For a single horizon, we show analytically that the radius of an innermost stable circular orbit monotonically depends on the size of an extra dimension. For two horizons, the radius of an innermost stable circular orbit depends on the separation between two black holes besides the size of an extra dimension. More precisely, the set of the stationary points of the potential is composed of two branches. For a large separation, stable circular orbits exist on the two branches regardless of the size of an extra dimension, and in particular, on one branch, the set of stable circular orbits is connected for the small extra dimension but has two disconnected parts for the large extra dimension. For a small separation, only on one branch it exists, and the radius of an innermost stable circular orbit monotonically increases with an extra-dimension size.
