Irreducible-Mass Growth and Extractable Energy in a Self-Gravitating Blandford-Znajek Engine

Wang recently constructed a self-gravitating split-monopole Blandford-Znajek engine and obtained its secular horizon mass and angular-momentum loss rates.

Wang recently constructed a self-gravitating split-monopole Blandford-Znajek engine and obtained its secular horizon mass and angular-momentum loss rates. We determine the previously unknown consequences of this evolution: the growth of the irreducible mass, the division of…
