Particle Dynamics Around the Black String

Abstract

In this paper, some dynamical properties of neutral and charged particles around a weakly magnetized five-dimensional static black string have been studied. The perturbation method was also used to calculate the Innermost Stable Circular Orbit (ISCO) of this metric in the presence of a magnetic field. The escape velocity of neutral and charged particles around the black string was derived. In the next step, the analytical solutions of the equations of motion were discussed and some possible orbits for particles in the black string space-time were plotted. Interestingly, it was found that adding an extra dimension has a slight influence on the effective potential and one term of the effective force. The magnitude of the new constant of motion $(J)$ affects both the shape of the potential and existence of the stable circular orbits. In conclusion, by comparing a black hole and a black string, it is realized that the value of a new constant of motion causes slight but interesting differences.
