Kerr Black Hole

A Kerr black hole is a rotating black hole, meaning it spins around an axis. Its rotation causes the formation of a region called the ergosphere, where space itself is dragged along with the rotation. Unlike non-rotating black holes, Kerr black holes have an additional parameter called angular momentum, influencing their shape and properties. They still possess an event horizon—a boundary beyond which nothing can escape— but their rotation affects the behavior of nearby matter and light. Kerr black holes are key to understanding cosmic phenomena involving high-energy processes influenced by intense gravity and rotation.
