Determination of Gravitomagnetic Field through GRBs or X-ray Pulsars

TL;DR

This paper proposes a method to measure the gravitomagnetic field of neutron stars or black holes by analyzing spectral lines in GRBs or X-ray pulsars, enabling differentiation between black holes and neutron stars.

Contribution

It introduces a novel approach to determine the gravitomagnetic field through spectral line analysis, linking particle spin coupling to astrophysical observations.

Findings

Spectral lines of electrons and protons can be used to measure gravitomagnetic fields.

The ratio of energy shifts serves as a criterion to identify black holes.

Simultaneous observation of spectral lines can distinguish black holes from neutron stars.

Abstract

In gauge theory of gravity, there is direct coupling between the spin of a particle and gravitomagnetic field. In the surface of a neutron star or near black hole, the coupling energy between spin and gravitomagnetic field can be large and detectable. Precise measurement of the position of spectrum lines of the corresponding emission or absorption can help us to determine the gravitomagnetic field and electromagnetic field simultaneously. The ratio $\frac{\Delta E_e}{\Delta E_p}$ can be served as a quantitative criteria of black hole. In GRBs or X-ray pulsar, absorption spectral lines of electron were observed. If the absorption spectral lines of electron and proton can be observed simultaneously, using the method given in this paper, we can determine the gravitomagnetic field in the surface of the star, and discriminate black hole from neutron star.
