Horizon and exotics

2 Main reviews and articles gr-qc/ Black Holes in Astrophysics astro-ph/ No observational proof of the black-hole event-horizon gr-qc/ Black holes and fundamental physics astro-ph/ Constraining Alternate Models of Black Holes: Type I X-ray Bursts on Accreting Fermion-Fermion and Boson-Fermion Stars

3 The horizon problem What can be a 100% proof that we observe a BH? Of course, only a direct evidence for the horizon existence! But it is very difficult to prove it! One can try to follow three routes: 1. To look for direct evidence for the horizon. 2. To try to prove the absence of a surface. 3. To falsify the alternative models. The first approach is not very realistic (astro-ph/ Abramowicz et al.) Only in future we can hope to have direct images from the horizon vicinity (for example, for Sgr A* the corresponding size is 0.02 milliarcseconds), or to have data from BH coalescence via GW detection. (see Narayan gr-qc/ )

4 Dreams about direct images (Narayan 2005) The MAXIM Project (Cash 2002) Prototype: 100 microarcsecs MAXIM: 100 nanoarcsecs 33 satellites with X-ray optics and a detector in 500 km away.

5 Absence of surface Here we mostly discuss close binaries with accretion Lack of pulsations No burster-like bursts Nowhere to collect matter. (however, see below about some alternatives) Low accretion efficiency (also for Sgr A*) ADAF. Energy is taken under horizon. No boundary layer (Sunyaev, Revnivtsev 2000) Analysis of power spectra. Cut-off in BH candidates above 50 Hz.

6 The case of Sgr A* Recent millimeter and infrared observations of Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, all but requires the existence of a horizon.

7 Parameters of different models (astro-ph/ ) Fermion stars: M f =223 MeV (non-interacting) M max =12.61 M 0 R(M=10M 0 )= 252 km= 8.6 R sh Collapse after adding M 0 of gas. Bozon stars: M b = MeV, λ=100 M max =12.57 M 0 R(M=10M 0 )= 153 km (99.9% of mass) Collapse after adding M 0 of gas. Model parameters are constrained by limits on the maximum size of an object derived from QPOs at 450 Hz

8 Stability respect to flares on a surface (astro-ph/ ) R min =9/8 R sh Potentially, smaller radii are possible, but such objects should be unstable in GR. Still, if they are possible, then one can “hide” bursts due to high redshift.

9 Timing characteristics of surface bursts (astro-ph/ )

10 Stability respect to flares inside an object (astro-ph/ ) Fermion stars Bozon stars

11 Timing characteristics of internal bursts (astro-ph/ )

12 Ограничение по данным о Sgr A* arxiv: Идея заключается в том, что последние наблюдения ставят очень жесткие пределы на отношение излучения, испускаемого возможной поверхностью (это если горизонта нет) и аккреционным потоком до последней устойчивой орбиты. Ограничения таковы, что в рамках стандартных моделей наличие поверхности, по мнению авторов, исключается.

13 BHs and fundamental theories 1. Thermodynamics of BHs and Hawking radiation. 2. Testing alternative theories of gravity. 3. Black holes and extra dimensions 4. Accelerator experiments Under some reasonable assumptions astrophysical data can provide strong and important constraints on parameters of fundamental theories.

14 Brane worlds and black holes In astro-ph/ the authors discuss constraints on parameters of world on brane basing on observations of XTE J The idea is the following. In many scenarios of brane world BHs lifetimes are short. An estimated of a lower limit on the age of a BH can provide a stronger limit than laboratory experiments. (see also astro-ph/ )

15 BH spin and testing the GR (astro-ph/ )

16 QPO in GRO (astro-ph/ ) If the interpretation of QPOs in this source is correct, than we can “look inside” 3Rg. The observed frequency is 450 Hz. Uncertainties (dashed lines) are due to uncertainty in the mass: solar masses. However, this conclusion crucially depends on our understanding of the QPO phenomenon. Here it is assumed that f QPO <f AZIM =(GM) 1/2 /2πR 3/2

17 Alternatives 1. Gravastar - GRAvitational VAcuum STAR (Mazur, Mottola gr-qc/ ) 2. Dark energy stars (Chaplin astro-ph/ ) 3. Boson stars (see, for example, Colpi et al Phys. Rev. Lett.) 4. Fermion balls (see discussion in Yuan et al. astro-ph/ ) 5. Evaporation before horizon formation (Vachaspati et al. gr-qc/ ) Except general theoretical criticizm, some models are closed by absence of burster-like flares (Yuan et al. astro-ph/ ). This is not the case for models like those proposed by Vachaspati et al. However, they are activley critisized by theorists. Taking all together, black hole – is the most conservative hypothesis!

18 GRAvitational VAcuum STAR (Mazur, Mottola gr-qc/ ) De Sitter Schwarzschild Vacuum outside, Vacuum inside Do not produce Hawking radiation. Can be distinguished in coalescence.
