Understand

Plasma-filled magnetospheres can extract energy from a spinning black hole and provide the power source for a variety of observed astrophysical phenomena.

These magnetospheres are described by the highly nonlinear equations of force-free electrodynamics, or FFE.
Typically these equations can only be solved numerically.
In this paper we consider the FFE equations very near the horizon of a maximally spinning black hole, where the energy extraction takes place.
