Abstract

We discuss the effects of electric charging on the equilibrium configurations of magnetized, rotating fluid tori around black holes of different mass. In the context of gaseous/dusty tori in galactic nuclei, the central black hole dominates the gravitational field and it remains electrically neutral, while the surrounding material acquires some electric charge and exhibits non-negligible self-gravitational effect on the torus structure. The structure of the torus is influenced by the balance between the gravitational and electromagnetic forces. A cusp may develop even in Newtonian tori due to the charge distribution.<br />Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure; to appear in Proceedings of the 15th Marcel Grossman Meeting on General Relativity - the session AC3 on "Accretion Discs and Jets" by Eva Hackmann & Audrey Trova (Rome, 1-7 July 2018), edited by Elia Battistelli, Robert T.
