New mechanism of acceleration of particles by stellar black holes

Abstract

In this paper we study efficiency of particle acceleration in the magnetospheres of stellar mass black holes. For this purpose we consider the linearized set of the Euler equation, continuity equation and Poisson equation respectively. After introducing the varying relativistic centrifugal force, we show that the charge separation undergoes the parametric instability, leading to generation of centrifugally excited Langmuir waves. It is shown that these waves, via the Langmuir collapse damp by means of the Landau damping, as a result energy transfers to particles accelerating them to energies of the order of 10 16 eV.

3D study of centrifugal acceleration in isotropic photon fields

“…Mechanism of magnetocentrifugal acceleration has been successfully applied to a variety of astrophysical objects such as black holes (Refs. 11,12,13,14) and pulsars (Refs. 15,16,17,18).…”
