Self-Gravitating Matter in Stationary and Axisymmetric Black Hole Spacetimes
Prashant Kocherlakota, Ramesh Narayan
All black holes (BHs) in nature are expected to be described by the Kerr vacuum solution of general relativity (GR). However, the Kerr BH interior contains several problematic feat…
Testing the Existence of Event Horizons against Rotating Reflecting Surfaces
Joost de Kleuver, Thomas Bronzwaer, Heino Falcke +4
Recently the Event Horizon Telescope observed black holes at event horizon scales for the first time, enabling us to now test the existence of event horizons. Although event horizo…
Energy Extraction from Spinning Stringy Black Holes
Koushik Chatterjee, Prashant Kocherlakota, Ziri Younsi +1
We perform the first numerical simulations modeling the inflow and outflow of magnetized plasma in the Kerr-Sen spacetime, which describes classical spinning black holes (BHs) in s…
On the Universality of Energy Extraction from Black Hole Spacetimes
Koushik Chatterjee, Ziri Younsi, Prashant Kocherlakota +1
The launching of astrophysical jets provides the most compelling observational evidence for direct extraction of black hole (BH) spin energy via the Blandford-Znajek (BZ) mechanism…
