Abstract

In this study, we examine the efficiency of pair creation by means of the centrifugal mechanism. The strong magnetic field and the effects of rotation, which always take place in Kerr-type black holes, guarantee the frozen-in condition, leading to the generation of an exponentially amplifying electrostatic field. This field, upon reaching the Schwinger threshold, leads to efficient pair production. Researchers have studied this process across a wide range of AGN luminosities and black hole masses, and found that the mechanism is highly efficient, indicating that for AGNs where centrifugal effects are significant, the annihilation lines in the MeV range will be very strong.
