Inverse Compton Cooling in the Coronae of Simulated Black Hole Accretion Flows
Brooks E. Kinch, Scott C. Noble, Jeremy D. Schnittman +1
We present a formulation for a local cooling function to be employed in the diffuse, hot corona region of 3D GRMHD simulations of accreting black holes. This new cooling function c…

Predicting Stellar-Mass Black Hole X-ray Spectra from Simulations
Brooks E. Kinch, Jeremy D. Schnittman, Timothy R. Kallman +1
We describe results from a new technique for the prediction of complete, self-consistent X-ray spectra from three-dimensional General Relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simul…
