Energy Extraction From the Kerr-Bertotti-Robinson Black Hole via Magnetic Reconnection under Circular Plasma and Plunging Plasma (2507.21777v1)

Abstract: Recently, a class of exact solutions describing rotating black holes immersed in a uniform magnetic field has been proposed, and various properties of such black holes remain unclear. This paper aims to explore how to extract energy based on the magnetic reconnection mechanism in both the circular orbit region and the plunging region. After introducing the properties of this spacetime, we analyze physical quantities such as the size of the ergoregion, the event horizon, and the boundaries of the ergosphere. We then analyze the magnetic reconnection process within circular orbits. We plot energy extraction parameter diagrams, and analyze the power and efficiency of energy extraction. The results show that the magnetic field impedes energy extraction. Comparing with Kerr black holes and Kerr-Melvin black holes, we find that this black hole's energy extraction capability is stronger than that of the Kerr-Melvin black hole but weaker than that of the Kerr black hole. Furthermore, we study magnetic reconnection and energy extraction in the plunging region of this black hole. The results indicate that the magnetic field still impedes energy extraction. The black hole's energy extraction capability in this region also remains weaker than that of a Kerr black hole but stronger than that of a Kerr-Melvin black hole. Comparing the plunging region with the circular orbit region, we find that the energy extraction power in the plunging region is consistently stronger than in the circular orbit region.
