}In this paper, I present results from theoretical and numerical (Monte Carlo) N-particle fully relativistic four-dimensional analysis of Penrose scattering processes (Compton and γγe-e+) in the ergosphere of a supermassive or stellar mass Kerr (rotating) black hole. Specifically, the escape conditions and the escaping orbits of the Penrose pair production (γγe-e+) electrons are analyzed, revealing that these particles escape along collimated, jet geodesic trajectories encircling the polar axis… CONTINUE READING
