Description

A compact supermassive source Sagittarius A* located at the centre of our Galaxy has been observed at different wavelengths across the electromagnetic spectrum, being currently the best known black hole candidate. It is also the closest and largest in projection supermassive black hole candidate. At the same time, its particle acceleration capability related cosmic ray and neutrino messengers were not yet experimentally probed. In this talk, I present several scenarios of particle acceleration by rotating black hole, involving electromagnetic energy extraction mechanisms and their observational signatures in the case of the Galactic centre.
