ABSTRACT

In this paper, we examine the motion of test particles and relativistic accretion mechanisms within the spacetime of a rotating and embedded BH. In this case, the geometric properties of the metric and their dynamical consequences for particle trajectories are systematically studied, with a specific focus on circular orbits together with their existence criteria and stability constraints. Also, the effective potential and the corresponding effective force are constructed to quantify the influence of rotation and embedding parameters on the attractive and repulsive sectors of the gravitational interaction. Closed-form expressions for orbital frequencies as measured by a distant observer are derived, enabling a quantitative analysis of relativistic precession phenomena, including periastron advance and Lense-Thirring precession. Furthermore, we conduct general-relativistic hydrodynamic simulations of BHL accretion onto rotating embedded BHs. In addition, within the framework of the BHL accretion mechanism, the numerical solution of the GRH equations shows that the embedding parameter αsystematically modifies the morphology of the shock cone formed around embedded BHs compared to the Kerr model. In particular, a wider opening angle of the cone is produced, the compression of matter in the post-shock region is weakened, and the dynamical variability of the flow is enhanced. The time-dependent mass accretion rate exhibits increasing oscillation amplitudes and long-term variations with increasing α, while these amplitudes are found to be suppressed by the frame-dragging effect associated with the BH spin parameter. At the same time, increasing values of $α$ lead to a strengthening of the QPO frequencies formed around embedded BHs in the LFQPO regime, enhancing their observability and increasing the likelihood of detecting commensurate frequency ratios such as 3:2.

实验结果

研究问题

• RQ1 嵌入参数alpha与自旋a如何改变围绕旋转嵌入黑洞的圆轨道存在性与稳定性？
• RQ2 有效势和有效力如何被alpha与a塑形，这对轨道束缚有何含义？
• RQ3 从无穷远观测到的红移校正的固有振动与轨道频率是什么，它们在参数值之间如何比较？
• RQ4 在这些时空中Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton吸积如何进行，嵌入如何影响激波锥结构与流动变异性？
• RQ5 嵌入引起的BHL流动变化是否会增强QPO频率及3:2等比频率的新 observable？

主要发现

• 增加嵌入alpha或自旋a会削弱有效势井的深度并促成轨道不稳定。
• 旋转嵌入黑洞的V_eff最小值更高，表示相比非旋转情形的轨道束缚减弱。
• 嵌入和自旋改变观测到的频率，使得更高的alpha将特征向内移位并放大某些QPO特征。
• 相对于Kerr情形，BHL模拟显示激波锥更宽、激波后压缩减弱、流动变异性增强，且alpha增大时尤为明显。
• 自旋引起的框架拖拽可以抑制某些嵌入引起的振荡幅度，而更大的alpha增强低频QPO频率并可能有利于3:2的和谐比。
