An electron-positron cascade in the magnetospheres of Kerr black holes (BHs) is a
fundamental ingredient to fueling the relativistic γ-ray jets seen at the polar regions of …

We quantitatively study the stationary, axisymmetric, force-free magnetospheres of spinning
(Kerr) black holes (BHs) and the conditions needed for relativistic jets to be powered by the …

Spark gaps are likely the source of plasma in active black hole (BH) magnetospheres. In this
paper, we present results of 1D general relativistic particle-in-cell simulations of a starved …

In the absence of a sufficient amount of plasma injection into the black hole (BH)
magnetosphere, the force-free state of the magnetosphere cannot be maintained, leading to …

This Letter reports on three-dimensional (3D) simulations of Kerr black hole
magnetospheres that obey the general relativistic equations of perfect …

We quantitatively solve the problem of plasma supply to the stationary, axisymmetric, force-
free magnetosphere of a rotating black hole residing in an active galactic nucleus. At the …

In this paper, we construct a framework for investigating the magnetohydrodynamical jet
structure of spinning black holes (BHs), where electromagnetic fields and fluid motion are …

A model of the central engine of the unidentified high-latitude galactic hard γ-ray (EGRET)
sources based on black hole electrodynamics is presented. The γ-ray emission is produced …

Supermassive black holes (BHs) are believed to be the central powerhouse of active
galactic nuclei. Applying the pulsar outer-magnetospheric particle accelerator theory to BH …

We examine the temporary evolution of axisymmetric magnetospheres around rapidly
rotating black holes (BHs), by applying our two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation code …
