Two-dimensional Particle-in-cell Simulations of Axisymmetric Black Hole Magnetospheres: Angular Dependence of the Blandford–Znajek Flux

Two-dimensional Particle-in-cell Simulations of Axisymmetric Black Hole Magnetospheres: Angular Dependence of the Blandford–Znajek Flux

We examine the temporary evolution of axisymmetric magnetospheres around rapidly rotating black holes (BHs), by applying our two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation code. Assuming a stellar-mass BH, we find that the created pairs fail to screen the electric field along the magnetic field, provid...
