abstract
Black hole systems, comprised of a black hole, accretion disk, and collimated outflow are studied here. Three AGN samples including 753 AGN, and 102 measurements of 4 GBH are studied. Applying the theoretical considerations described by Daly (2016), general expressions for the black hole spin function and accretion disk magnetic field strength are presented and applied to obtain the black hole spin function, spin, and accretion disk magnetic field strength in dimensionless and physical units for each source. Relatively high spin values are obtained; spin functions indicate typical spin values of about (0.6 - 1) for the sources. The distribution of accretion disk magnetic field strengths for the three AGN samples are quite broad and have mean values of about $10^4$ G, while those for individual GBH have mean values of about $10^8$ G. Good agreement is found between spin values obtained here and published values obtained with well-established methods; comparisons for 1 GBH and 6 AGN indicate that similar spin values are obtained with independent methods. Black hole spin and disk magnetic field strength demographics are obtained and indicate that black hole spin functions and spins are similar for all of the source types studied including GBH and different categories of AGN. The method applied here does not depend upon any specific accretion disk emission model, and does not depend upon a specific model that relates jet beam power to compact radio luminosity, hence the results obtained here can be used to constrain and study these models.

Radiative Back-Reaction on Charged Particle Motion in the Dipole Magnetosphere of Neutron Stars
Radiative back-reaction makes charged particles under an attractive Lorentz force fall onto a magnetized neutron star, while under a repulsive force they either widen their orbits or fall, depending on the starting latitude.
