Can extended bodies follow geodesic trajectories?
Lukes-Gerakopoulos, Georgios ; Mukherjee, Sajal
We provide an extension of the analysis on whether an extended test body can follow a geodesic trajectory given by Mukherjee et al. (2022). In particular, we consider a test body in a pole-dipole-quadrupole approximation under the Ohashi-Kyrian-Semer´ak spin supplementary condition moving in the Schwarzschild and Kerr background. Using orbital setups under which a pole-dipole body can follow geodesic motion, we explore under which conditions this can also take place in the pole-dipole-quadrupole approximation when only the mass quadrupole is taken into account. For our analysis, we employ the assumption that the dipole contribution and the quadrupole contribution vanish independentlly.

Growth of orbital resonances around a black hole surrounded by matter
Stratený, Michal ; Lukes-Gerakopoulos, Georgios
This work studies the dynamics of geodesic motion within a curved spacetime around a Schwarzschild black hole, perturbed by a gravitational field of a far axisymmetric distribution of mass enclosing the system. This spacetime can serve as a versatile model for a diverse range of astrophysical scenarios and, in particular, for extreme mass ratio inspirals as in our work. We show that the system is non-integrable by employing Poincaré surface of section and rotation numbers. By utilising the rotation numbers, the widths of resonances are calculated, which are then used in establishing the relation between the underlying perturbation parameter driving the system from integrability and the quadrupole parameter characterising the perturbed metric. This relation allows us to estimate the phase shift caused by the resonance during an inspiral.

Astrophysical black holes embedded in organized magnetic fields
Karas, Vladimír
Large-scale magnetic fields pervade the cosmic environment where the astrophysical black holes are often embedded and influenced by mutual interaction. In thiscontribution, we outline the appropriate mathematical framework to describe magnetized black holes within General Relativity, and we show several examples of how these can be employed in the astrophysical context. In particular, we examine the magnetized black hole metric in terms of an exact solution of electro-vacuum Einstein-Maxwell equations under the influence of a non-vanishing electric charge. New effects emerge: the expulsion of the magnetic flux out of the black-hole horizon depends on the intensity of the imposed magnetic field.

MAD UFOs: Magnetically Arrested Discs with persistent Ultra-Fast Outflows
Suková, Petra ; Zajaček, M. ; Karas, Vladimír
We study an outflow that develops in the MAD state in 3D GRMHD simulations. We show that the outflow can be accelerated to\nrelativistic velocities and persist over the course of our simulation. We compare the properties of the outflow from MAD discs with those launched by orbiting secondary at close orbit. The main difference is that the orbiting body launches a more coherent, quasiperiodic ultrafast outflow at lower velocities (v < 0.5c) while the outflow launched in the MAD state (without the body) has a stochastic behaviour and has anapproximately flat velocity distribution between lower anf higher outflow velocities, 0.2c < v < 0.3c and v > 0.5c.

Chaos v porušených polích černých děr
Witzany, Vojtěch ; Semerák, Oldřich (advisor) ; Heyrovský, David (referee)
The loss of complete geodesic integrability is one of the important consequences (and thus indicators) of deviation from the Kerr-type space-time. Indeed, it has been confirmed many times in the literature that even a highly symmetric perturbation of the Kerr or Schwarzschild metric can make the free test-particle motion chaotic. In this thesis, we study the test-particle dynamics in the field of a Schwarzschild black hole surrounded by a thin disc or ring, using, however, Newton's gravity with a simple "pseudo- Newtonian" potential to mimic the black hole. The Poincaré sections show that the (pseudo-)Newtonian system is slightly more chaotic than the general relativistic one. The difference seems to be correlated with the phase-space allowed region being more open towards the center in the pseudo-Newtonian case. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Geometry inside deformed black holes
Basovník, Marek ; Semerák, Oldřich (advisor) ; Svítek, Otakar (referee)
In this thesis we study exact general relativistic space-times generated by a black hole and an additional source of gravity, while restricting to two classes of static and axially symmetric solutions: the Majumdar-Papapetrou solution for a couple (in general, a multiple system) of extremally charged black holes and the "superposition" of a Schwarzschild black hole with the Bach-Weyl thin ring. We follow the effect of the additional source on the geometry of black-hole space-time on the behaviour of important invariants, in particular of the simplest scalars obtained from the Riemann and possibly also Ricci tensor. We have plotted the invariants both outside and inside the black hole; in the case of a Schwarzschild black hole with ring, we found, to this end, an extension of the metric below the horizon. It turns out that the external source may affect the geometry inside the black hole considerably, even in the vicinity of singularity, although the singularity itself remains point-like in both solutions studied here.

Numerical evolution of black-hole spacetimes
Khirnov, Anton ; Ledvinka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Palenzuela, Carlos (referee)
吀e so-called "trumpet" initial data has recently received mu挀 a琀ention as a potential candidate for the natural black hole initial data to be used in 3+1 numerical relativity simulations with 1+log foliation. In this work we first derive a variant of the maximal trumpet initial data that is made to move on the numerical grid by the means of a Lorentz boost and write a numerical code that constructs this boosted trumpet initial data. We also write a numerical code for calculating the Krets挀mann scalar from the 3+1 variables, to be used in analysing the data from our simulations. With the help of those two codes, we study the behaviour of the boosted trumpet initial data when evolved with the BSSN formulation of the Einstein equations, using 1+log slicing and the Γ-driver shi昀 condition.

Properties of the extreme charged black hole near horizon
Hejda, Filip ; Krtouš, Pavel (advisor) ; Svítek, Otakar (referee)
It is known, that there exists a limiting correspondence between certain part (including the horizon) of extremal case of Reissner-Nordström space-time and Robinson-Bertotti space-time and that different generalisations of this near-horizon limit are possible. The aim of the presented work is to examine some of the properties of such limiting transitions. Firstly it is stressed how the global structure is reflected in the limit and secondly which properties of the space-time do provide that physical distances are preserved in the limit. Besides the extremal case the subextremal and hyperextremal generalisations are studied. As a complementary topic, the global extremal limit is stated. That means a transition from a generalised (non-symmetrical) conformal diagram of the subextremal case to the conformal diagram of the extremal case of Reissner-Nordström solution.

Rotating thin disc around a Schwarzschild black hole: properties of perturbative solution
Kotlařík, Petr ; Semerák, Oldřich (advisor) ; Ledvinka, Tomáš (referee)
In 1974, Will presented a solution for the perturbation of a Schwarzschild black hole due to a slowly rotating and light thin disc given in terms of a multipole expansion of the perturbation series. In a recently submitted paper, P. Čížek and O. Semerák generalized this procedure to the perturbation by a slowly rotating finite thin disc, using closed forms of Green functions rather than the multipole expansion. The method is illustrated there, in the first perturbation order, on the constant-density disc. In this thesis, we summarize, check and plot some of the obtained properties, and show how the presence of the disc changes the geometry of a horizon and the position of significant circular orbits. 1

Polarisation of X-ray emission from accretion discs in active galactic nuclei
Podgorný, Jakub ; Dovčiak, Michal (advisor) ; Marin, Frédéric (referee)
The presented thesis deals with theoretical modeling of the X-ray emission from active galactic nuclei. It studies spectral and polarisation properties of local radiation reflected from the surrounding accretion disc, which is being illuminated by a hot corona above, as well as global observational perspectives at infinity for unobscured radio-quiet sources. Modeling of this kind could then serve for observational fitting of spin of the central supermassive black hole, constraining the accretion disc's or coronal properties, or de- termining observer's inclination towards the systems. A radiative transfer Monte Carlo simulation code STOKES [Goosmann and Gaskell, 2007, Marin et al., 2012, 2015, Marin, 2018] is used for local computations. Its performance is compared to results of other attempts already existing in literature and analytical approximations. The local scheme is discussed mostly in terms of emergent polarisation that has been for the first time simulated for these types of objects with high accuracy. Integration over the accretion disc and superposition with the primary radiation in the so-called lamp-post or extended coronal model, including all general relativistic effects in the vicinity of the central super- massive black hole, is then performed on the basis of already existing routine...
