We study charged slowly rotating black hole with a nonlinear electrodynamics (NED) in the presence of cosmological constant.
Starting from the static solutions of Einstein-NED gravity as seed solutions, we use the angular momentum as the perturbative
parameter to obtain slowly rotating black holes. We perform the perturbations up to the linear order for black holes in 4 dimensions.
ese solutions are asymptotically AdS and their horizon has spherical topology. We calculate the physical properties of these black
holes and study their dependence on the rotation parameter as well as the nonlinearity parameter . In the limit →∞,the
solution describes slowly rotating AdS type black holes.
1. Introduction

om (RN) solution is the static solution
of the Einstein-Maxwell gravity. ese solutions are asymp-
totically at and their horizon has spherical topology. is
black hole can be characterized by its mass and electric charge
andthegeometryoftheRNblackholeissingularatthe
origin of the radial coordinate. So, people were searching
to construct a good regular alternative for it. For several
decades a great deal of attention has been focused on some
gravitating NED as regular generalizations of the RN solution
of the Einstein-Maxwell gravity, in which the most popular
example is the gravitating Born-Infeld (BI) theory [1–4]. On
the other hand, theories such as the theory of black objects,
with a logarithmic electrodynamic Lagrangian coupled to
gravity,havebeenstudiedinanattempttoremovesome
of the singularities associated with a charged black hole
[5]. e divergence of the energy-momentum tensor was
successfully removed, although the spacetime still exhibited
a curvature singularity, albeit of a weaker variety. Some
other NED models supporting asymptotically Schwarzschild-
like solutions have been also considered in the literature
[5–7]. One can look for regular solutions with nonlinear
electromagnetic elds of the Born-Infeld type [8–12].
On the other hand, exact solutions for charged static
black holes with NED have been studied by many authors
(see, e.g., [5, 11, 13–18]). is showed that the presence of
the NED has important consequences for the black hole
properties which motivate us to investigate charged black
holeswithNED,forinstance,variouslimitationsofthe
linear electrodynamics [19, 20], clarication of the self-
interaction of virtual electron-positron pairs [21–23], and
description of radiation propagation inside specic materials
[24–27]. Moreover, from astrophysical point of view, one
nds the eects of NED become indeed quite important in
superstrongly magnetized compact objects, such as pulsars,
and particular neutron stars (some examples include the
so-called magnetars and strange quark magnetars) [28–30].
Also, NED modies in a fundamental basis the concept of
gravitational redshi and its dependency of any background
magnetic eld as compared to the well-established method
introduced by standard general relativity. In addition, it was
recently shown that NED objects can remove both of the
big bang and black hole singularities [31–36]. Furthermore,
it was shown that the nonlinearity may change the geometric
properties of the black hole horizon(s). For example, unlike
charged black holes in Einstein-Maxwell gravity, there is
a new situation of black hole horizon in the presence of
nonlinear electrodynamics (see [11] for more details). Finally
