2 MOTIVATIONS There are indications that magnetic field plays an important role in astrophysical black holes We study a simple (toy) model: a charged particle motion near a magnetized black hole We demonstrate that even a weak regular magnetic field in the vicinity of a black hole dramatically changes such characteristics as ISCO radius and period of motion. 2

5 The problem set up We consider a Schwarzschild black hole immersed into a static and axisymmetric magnetic field which approaches a constant value far away of the black hole. The magnetic field is regular between the black hole horizon and accretion disk. We study motion of charged particles in the presence of the magnetic and the black hole gravitational fields, neglecting their mutual interaction. In the first part: We study motion in the equatorial plane of the black hole, which is orthogonal to the direction of the magnetic field.

The effect is pro 1/4 potional to (1 ). Similar effect occurs in magnetised (even The effect is p 1/ 4 roportional to b. non-rotating) black holes. Consider collision of 2 particles in the vicinity of magnetized BH. (1) First charged particle (with charge q and mass m) is at ISCO. (2) Second (neutral) particle of mass is freely falling. At the moment of collision the four momentum is P p k, and the center-of-mass energy M is: M m 2( p, k) 14

18 We consider again a charged particle (with charge q and mass m) revolving in the equatorial plane around a magnetized non-rotating black hole at the ISCO. We suppose now that it is `kicked' out of this orbit by some other particle or photon and gets an orthogonal to the plane velocity v r. What is the critical escape velocity v and what are properties of the near critical motion? * Three possible asymptotic types of motion: (1) Capture (red); (2) Escape in the direction of B (green); (3) Escape in the direction opposite to B (yel low). 18

29 (1) Magnetic field effect on charged particle motion is strong when b 1. This seams to be the case for realistic astrophysical black holes. (2) Magnetic field makes position of the ISCO closer to the gravitational radius. Efficiency of energy release and period for ISCO particles strongly depend of the parameter b. (3) Center-of-mass energy for collision of a free falling particle (photon) and a charged particle revolving near a magnetized black hole can be (at least formally) large ( (4) Near-critical-escape motion out of the equatorial plane is chaotic and basin of boundaries plots have fractal structure. (5) Possible applications: Broadening of K lines of Iron ions as probes of the magnetic field in the black hole infinity (6) Rotating magnetized black holes b 1/ 4 ).

In this lecture we will continue our discussion of general relativity. We first introduce a convention that allows us to drop the many factors of G and c that appear in formulae, then talk in more detail
