Abstract:
We study Einstein's gravity coupled to nonlinear electrodynamics with two parameters in anti-de Sitter spacetime. Magnetically charged black holes in an extended phase space are investigated. We obtain the mass and metric functions and the asymptotic and corrections to the Reissner-Nordström metric function when the cosmological constant vanishes. The first law of black hole thermodynamics in an extended phase space is formulated and the magnetic potential and the thermodynamic conjugate to the coupling are obtained. We prove the generalized Smarr relation. The heat capacity and the Gibbs free energy are computed and the phase transitions are studied. It is shown that the electric fields of charged objects at the origin and the electrostatic self-energy are finite within the nonlinear electrodynamics proposed.

Detection of Black Holes
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.
