Supermassive black holes: magnetic fields, radiation, and cosmic rays

Arman Tursunov

Institute of Physics, Silesian University in Opava

Abstract:

One of the most fascinating aspects of Einstein’s general theory of relativity is the uncanny correspondence between black hole mechanics and thermodynamics. It implies that up to 29% of the total energy of black holes is rotational and extractable, making black holes the largest energy reservoirs in the Universe. In this presentation, I will discuss dynamical environments of supermassive black holes, including their electromagnetic characteristics, jet launching/switching-off scenario, and particle acceleration capabilities from theoretical and observational perspectives.
