Accretion process onto super-spinning objects

Accretion process onto super-spinning objects

The accretion process onto spinning objects in Kerr spacetimes is studied with numerical simulations. Our results show that accretion onto compact objects with Kerr parameter (characterizing the spin) $|a|<M$ and $|a|>M$ is very different. In the superspinning case, for $|a|$ moderately larger than $M$, the accretion onto the central object …
