Thermodynamics of Kerr-Newman-Bertotti-Robinson black holes

Zelin Zhang, Zhenyu Zhang, Bin Chen

In this work, we extend the thermodynamic analyses of the neutral and specially charged Kerr-Bertotti-Robinson black holes to the general Kerr-Newman-Bertotti-Robinson family, in w…

Shadows and Thin-Disk Images of Kerr-Newman Black Holes in a Bertotti-Robinson Magnetic Field

Xi Wan, Haiyu Wang, Zhenyu Zhang +2

In this paper, we investigate the optical properties of Kerr-Newman-Bertotti-Robinson (KN-BR) black holes. We use the separability of null geodesics to analyze unstable spherical p…

Completing the Penrose Process without a Horizon

Yang Huang, Shiyang Hu, Bin Chen +1

In its standard black-hole realization, the Penrose process uses an event horizon to remove a negative-energy fragment. We show that, at the kinematic level, horizon absorption can…

Distinct Near-Horizon Trend of Synchrotron Polarization in Kerr Spacetime

Yehui Hou, Jiewei Huang, Bin Chen

We show that the near-horizon expansion of the linear polarization vector for synchrotron emission in a Kerr background admits a distinct analytic form. For emission from a station…

Distorting Kerr Images with Parity-Odd Scalar Hair

Qian Wan, Yehui Hou, Yang Huang +3

We investigate thin-disk imaging of Kerr black holes with synchronized scalar hair, focusing on backreacted parity-odd excited states of a complex scalar field minimally coupled to…

Critical Behavior of Photon Rings in Kerr-Bertotti-Robinson Spacetime

Xi Wan, Zhenyu Zhang, Fang-Stars Wei +2

In this work, we investigate the critical behavior of photon rings in the Kerr-Bertotti-Robinson spacetime, describing a rotating black hole immersed in a background magnetic field…

Semi-analytical Study on the Polarized Images of Black Hole due to Frame Dragging

Xinyu Wang, Songbai Chen, Minyong Guo +1

An initially retrograde accretion flow is transformed into a prograde configuration before plunging into the black hole, as a result of the frame-dragging effect induced by the bla…

Geodesics and Shadows in the Kerr-Bertotti-Robinson Black Hole Spacetime

Xinyu Wang, Yehui Hou, Xi Wan +2

In this work, we investigate geodesics and black hole shadows in the Kerr-Bertotti-Robinson spacetime. We show that the equations of motion for null geodesics are separable and adm…

Near-Horizon Polarization as a Diagnostic of Black Hole Spacetime

Yehui Hou, Jiewei Huang, Minyong Guo +2

A key challenge in imaging supermassive black holes is disentangling gravitational effects from plasma physics in order to accurately determine spacetime properties, particularly b…

Images and flares of geodesic hotspots around a Kerr black hole

Jiewei Huang, Zhenyu Zhang, Minyong Guo +1

In this study, we develop a numerical method to generate images on an observer's screen, formed by radiation from hotspots on any timelike orbits outside a black hole. This method…
