A solution method determining the effect of spin upon gravitational effects in the surroundings of a black hole
Culbreth, Shawn (East Carolina University, 2017-12-12)Using the theory of General Relativity and quasi-normal modes (QNMs) from the Teukolsky equation as a source of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) from black holes provides information about black hole mass and spin. This ... -
Graviton and photon orbitals surrounding a black hole : Application to the supermassive black hole at the Milky Way galactic center, with NIR observational confirmation.
Culbreth, Shawn (East Carolina University, 2014)Non-relativistic Quantum Theory fairly accurately describes the resonance phenomena around a black hole, even though black holes are thought of as general relativistic (GR) objects. Graphically and numerically we are able ...
