Modelling the broad Fe Kα reverberation in the AGN NGC 4151
E. M. Cackett, A. Zoghbi, C. Reynolds +4
The recent detection of X-ray reverberation lags, especially in the Fe Kα line region, around Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) has opened up the possibility of studying the time-resolv…
Improved Reflection Models of Black-Hole Accretion Disks: Treating the Angular Distribution of X-rays
J. Garcia, T. Dauser, A. Lohfink +8
X-ray reflection models are used to constrain the properties of the accretion disk, such as the degree of ionization of the gas and the elemental abundances. In combination with ge…
Transient jet formation and state transitions from large-scale magnetic reconnection in black hole accretion discs
Jason Dexter, Jonathan C. McKinney, Sera Markoff +1
Magnetically arrested accretion discs (MADs), where the magnetic pressure in the inner disc is dynamically important, provide an alternative mechanism for regulating accretion to w…
Accretion disks around binary black holes of unequal mass: GRMHD simulations near decoupling
Roman Gold, Vasileios Paschalidis, Zachariah B. Etienne +2
We report on simulations in general relativity of magnetized disks onto black hole binaries. We vary the binary mass ratio from 1:1 to 1:10 and evolve the systems when they orbit n…
Numerical simulations of super-critical black hole accretion flows in general relativity
A. Sadowski, R. Narayan, J. C. McKinney +1
A new general relativistic radiation magnetohydrodynamical code KORAL, is described, which employs the M1 scheme to close the radiation moment equations. The code has been successf…
On the Magnetosphere of an Accelerated Pulsar
T. Daniel Brennan, Samuel E. Gralla
We report on a remarkable class of exact solutions to force-free electrodynamics that has four-current along the light cones of an arbitrary timelike worldline in flat spacetime. N…
