Detection of Black Holes01:10

Detection of Black Holes

2.3K
Although black holes were theoretically postulated in the 1920s, they remained outside the domain of observational astronomy until the 1970s.
Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.
Not until the 1960s, when the first neutron...

Schwarzschild Radius and Event Horizon

2.2K
No object with a finite mass can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. This fact has an interesting consequence in the domain of extremely high gravitational fields.
The minimum speed required to launch a projectile from the surface of an object to which it is gravitationally bound so that it eventually escapes the object’s gravitational field is called the escape velocity. The escape velocity is independent of the mass of the object. Merging the idea of escape...

Electric Field of a Charged Disk01:23

Electric Field of a Charged Disk

2.5K
The simplest case of a surface charge distribution is the uniformly charged disk. Calculating its electric field also helps us calculate the electric field of a large plane of charge.
The system's symmetry is in the cylindrical directions across the plane of the charge. As a result, the electric fields created by various surface charge elements nullify each other in the direction parallel to the surface. Thereby, the resulting electric field is perpendicular to the plane. Since the disk is...

Induced Electric Dipoles01:28

Induced Electric Dipoles

4.4K
A permanent electric dipole orients itself along an external electric field. This rotation can be quantified by defining the potential energy because the external torque does work in rotating it. Then, the potential energy is minimum at the parallel configuration and maximum at the antiparallel configuration. While the former is a stable equilibrium, the latter is an unstable equilibrium.
Since the absolute value of potential energy holds no physical meaning, its zero value can be chosen as per...

Gravitation Between Spherically Symmetric Masses

1.0K
The gravitational potential energy between two spherically symmetric bodies can be calculated from the masses and the distance between the bodies, assuming that the center of mass is concentrated at the respective centers of the bodies.

Potential Due to a Polarized Object01:29

Potential Due to a Polarized Object

490
A neutral atom consists of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by a negatively charged electron cloud. When placed in an external electric field, the external electric force pulls the electrons and nucleus apart, opposite to the intrinsic attraction between the nucleus and the electrons. The opposing forces balance each other with a slight shift between the center of masses of the nucleus and the electron cloud, resulting in a polarized atom. On the other hand, a few molecules, like water,...

Area of Science:

  • Theoretical Physics
  • Black Hole Physics
  • Quantum Field Theory

Background:

  • Dirac clouds are generally absent in general relativity due to the failure of the superradiance mechanism for Dirac fields.
  • Superradiance is a key mechanism for supporting clouds of particles around rotating black holes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate a novel mechanism for supporting Dirac clouds around charged spherical black holes in dilatonic gravity.
  • To explore the conditions under which quasibound states of Dirac particles can form stable, real bound states.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of quasibound states of Dirac particles in the spacetime of a charged spherical black hole.
  • Study of the energy spectrum of stationary clouds for varying fine structure constants (μM).
  • Investigation of the conditions for the existence of these Dirac clouds.

Main Results:

  • A novel mechanism supporting Dirac clouds, independent of superradiance, was identified.
  • Quasibound states transition to real bound states when the black hole becomes extremal.
  • The existence conditions for these stationary Dirac clouds were determined based on the energy spectrum.

Conclusions:

  • Extreme dilatonic black holes exhibit properties analogous to elementary particles.
  • The findings challenge conventional understanding of particle behavior around black holes in general relativity.
