Bayesian Evidence for Inspiraling Hotspot Motion in the Galactic Center
Pablo Ruales, Maciek Wielgus, Delilah E. A. Gates +1
During flaring episodes, polarimetric observations of the Galactic Center black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) reveal evolving, loop-like trajectories in the Stokes Q-U plane, the so…
Dissecting the variability of Sagittarius A* in the orbiting hotspot framework
Maciek Wielgus, Aristomenis Yfantis
Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) exhibits intermittent flaring behavior, characterized by strong enhancements in high-energy emission (infrared and X-ray). These events have been interprete…
Dynamics and geometry of the inner sub-parsec-scale jet in 3C 279 observed with the Event Horizon Telescope
Hendrik Mueller, Sebastiano D. von Fellenberg, Ai-Ling Zeng +275
The 2021 Event Horizon Telescope observations resolve the innermost jet region of the blazar 3C279 with unprecedented detail. The reconstructed images consistently reveal a compact…
Broadband multiwavelength properties of the archetypal blazar 3C 279 during the 2017 Event Horizon Telescope campaign
G. Principe, J. C. Algaba, E. Aviano +529
The archetypal blazar 3C 279 hosts a prominent relativistic jet and exhibits strong broadband variability across the electromagnetic spectrum. In April 2017, the Event Horizon Tele…
Polarized emission of orbiting hot-spots near Sagittarius A*: effects of electromagnetic interaction
Abylaikhan Tlemissov, Arman Tursunov, Maciek Wielgus
We investigate the polarimetric signatures of orbiting hot-spots around a Schwarzschild black hole in the presence of an external magnetic field, accounting for the electromagnetic…
Polarization Signatures from GRMHD Simulations of Black Hole Accretion
P. Chris Fragile, Maciek Wielgus, Cora Prather
This chapter tells the still-unfolding story of extracting polarization signatures from general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics simulations of accretion disks. In some sense, thi…
Variability of Sagittarius A* at 3 GHz on minute-scale with MeerKAT
K. Kaur, I. Rammala-Zitha, A. Basu +21
The supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) exhibits temporal and spectral variability across the electromagnetic spectrum. However, variability at radio frequencies below…
GRMHD accretion beyond the black hole paradigm: Light from within the shadow
Saurabh, Maciek Wielgus, Parth Bambhaniya +3
We present the first three-dimensional general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulation of sustained accretion onto a horizonless singularity in which matter reaches the central…
Full-polarization millimeter wavelength variability of Sagittarius A* during the 2018 EHT campaign
Ezequiel Albentosa-Ruiz, Jasmin E. Washington, Nicola Marchili +272
Sagittarius A* (Srg A*), the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, provides a unique laboratory to study accretion dynamics and plasma processes near the event ho…
Radiative GRMHD simulations of puffy accretion discs: Numerical versus analytical models of sub-Eddington accretion
Debora Lančová, Maciek Wielgus, Marek Abramowicz +6
A widely accepted picture of an accretion flow in the luminous soft spectral state of X-ray binary systems is a geometrically thin disc structure much like the classic analytic sol…
Universal behaviour of -viscosity in black hole accretion discs
Marek A. Abramowicz, Axel Brandenburg, Jiří Horák +4
The Shakura-Sunyaev -viscosity coefficient, defined as the ratio of total stress to total pressure, , began to play an important role in the development of accr…
Locating the missing large-scale emission in the jet of M87* with short EHT baselines
Boris Georgiev, Paul Tiede, Sebastiano D. von Fellenberg +280
In Very-Long Baseline Interferometric arrays, nearly co-located stations probe the largest scales and typically cannot resolve the observed source. In the absence of large-scale st…
Ring Asymmetry and Spin in M87*
Vadim Bernshteyn, Nicholas S. Conroy, Michi Bauböck +263
Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) images of the supermassive black hole M87* depict an asymmetric ring of emission. General relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) models of M87* and…
