Magnetized Tori around Kerr Black Holes: Analytic Solutions with a Toroidal Magnetic Field

Abstract
The dynamics of accretion discs around galactic and extragalactic black holes may be influenced by their magnetic field. In this paper we generalise the fully relativistic theory of stationary axisymmetric tori in Kerr metric of Abramowicz et al.(1978) by including strong toroidal magnetic field and construct analytic solutions for barotropic tori with constant angular momentum. This development is particularly important for the general relativistic computational magnetohydrodynamics that suffers from the lack of exact analytic solutions that are needed to test computer codes.
