ROTATING NON-KERR BLACK HOLE AND ENERGY EXTRACTION

Journal Article · · Astrophysical Journal
The properties of the ergosphere and energy extraction by the Penrose process in a rotating non-Kerr black hole are investigated. It is shown that the ergosphere is sensitive to the deformation parameter {epsilon} and the shape of the ergosphere becomes thick as parameter {epsilon} increases. It is of interest to note that, compared with the Kerr black hole, the deformation parameter {epsilon} can enhance the maximum efficiency of the energy extraction process greatly. Especially for the case of a > M, the non-Kerr metric describes a superspinning compact object and the maximum efficiency can exceed 60%, while it is only 20.7% for the extremal Kerr black hole.
