Regular and Chaotic Motion in General Relativity: The Case of a Massive Magnetic Dipole
read the original abstract
Circular motion of particles, dust grains and fluids in the vicinity of compact objects has been investigated as a model for accretion of gaseous and dusty environment. Here we further discuss, within the framework of general relativity, figures of equilibrium of matter under the influence of combined gravitational and large-scale magnetic fields, assuming that the accreted material acquires a small electric charge due to interplay of plasma processes and photoionization. In particular, we employ an exact solution describing the massive magnetic dipole and we identify the regions of stable motion. We also investigate situations when the particle dynamics exhibits the onset of chaos. In order to characterize the measure of chaoticness we employ techniques of Poincar\'e surfaces of section and of recurrence plots.

Analytic thin disks and rings in a class of nonasymptotically flat static spacetimes
External quadrupolar distortion imprints on orbital dynamics and accretion structure in thin disks around deformed compact objects, with the radiating region's outer edge tied to the radiation-to-gas pressure transition.
