Electro-magnetic fields around a drifting Kerr black hole
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 November 2008
Abstract
A test field solution is constructed, describing the electromagnetic field around a Kerr black hole which is drifting in an arbitrary direction. An asymptotically uniform magnetic field is assumed with a general orientation (with respect to the rotation axis). Lines of force of electric and magnetic intensities are explored, as measured by an observer orbiting around the black hole (above the innermost stable circular orbit, ISCO) or freely falling (below the ISCO) down to the horizon. Magnetic null point is found.
