Photon emissions from NHEK and near-NHEK equatorial emitters


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We consider isotropic and monochromatic photon emissions from equatorial emitters moving along future-directed timelike geodesics in the near-horizon extremal Kerr (NHEK) and near-horizon near-extremal Kerr (near-NHEK) regions, to asymptotic infinity. We obtain numerical results for the photon escaping probability (PEP) and derive analytical expressions for the maximum observable blueshift (MOB) of the escaping photons, both depending on the emission radius and the emitters proper motion. In particular, we find that for all anti-plunging or deflecting emitters that can eventually reach to asymptotic infinity, the PEP is greater than $50%$ while for all plunging emitters the PEP is less than $55%$, and for the bounded emitters in the (near-)NHEK region, the PEP is always less than $59%$. In addition, for the emitters on unstable circular orbits in the near-NHEK region, the PEP decreases from $55%$ to $50%$ as the orbital radius decreases from the one of the innermost stable circular orbit to the one of the horizon. Furthermore, we show how the orientation of the emitters motion along the radial or azimuthal direction affects the PEP and the MOB of the emitted photons.
