Abstract

The relativistic jets of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) might be powered by a black-hole (BH) hyperaccretion system. The inherent asymmetry in these jets generates recoil forces, inducing oscillations and positional deviations of the BH from equilibrium. In this study, we explore the influence of different initial BH mass, spin, and mass accretion rate, as well as their evolutions on the dynamical properties of BH under the effect of asymmetric jets. Our results reveal that the initial mass and accretion rate significantly impact the BH’s acceleration, velocity, and displacement, while the different initial spin plays a negligible role in shaping the overall dynamical evolution. Additionally, we calculate the gravitational wave (GW) strains associated with the asymmetric jets, finding that the resulting GW signals are too weak to be detected, even for nearby GRBs. These findings provide critical insights into the dynamical response of BHs to asymmetric jets and the associated GW radiation, advancing our understanding of BH physics in GRBs.
