Moving away from the Near-Horizon Attractor of the Extreme Kerr Force-Free Magnetosphere [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2007.15665


We consider force-free magnetospheres around the extreme Kerr black hole. In this case there is no known exact analytic solution to force free electrodynamics which is stationary, axisymmetric and magnetically-dominated. However, any stationary, axisymmetric and regular force-free magnetosphere in extreme Kerr black hole approaches the same attractor solution in the near-horizon extreme Kerr (NHEK) limit with null electromagnetic field. We show that by moving away from the attractor solution in the NHEK region, one finds magnetically-dominated solutions in the extreme Kerr black hole with finite and negative angular momentum outflow. This result is achieved using a perturbative analysis up to the second order.
