Pair Plasma Cascade in Rotating Black Hole Magnetospheres with Split Monopole Flux Model
Michael C. Sitarz, Mikhail V. Medvedev, Alex L. Ford
An electron-positron cascade in the magnetospheres of Kerr Black Holes (BH) is a fundamental ingredient to fueling the relativistic -ray jets seen at the polar regions of galact…

Electron-Positron Cascade in Magnetospheres of Spinning Black Holes
Alexander L. Ford, Brett D. Keenan, Mikhail V. Medvedev
We quantitatively study the stationary, axisymmetric, force-free magnetospheres of spinning (Kerr) black holes (BHs) and the conditions needed for relativistic jets to be powered b…
