Thermal and non-thermal emission from supermassive black hole circumbinary disks: Disks, Coronae, Streams, and Cavities
Chris Nagele, Julian H. Krolik, Brooks E. Kinch +4
The search for electromagnetic signals from supermassive black hole (SMBH) binary systems is one of the cornerstones of multi-messenger astrophysics, complementing gravitational wa…
Simulation-Based Prediction of Black Hole Fe K Line Profiles
Chris Nagele, Julian H. Krolik, Brooks E. Kinch +1
One of the most useful spectral diagnostics of accreting black hole systems is the Fe K fluorescence line. Detected in many systems, it is often used to estimate the black hole…
Simulation-Based Prediction of Black Hole Spectra: From to
Chris Nagele, Julian H. Krolik, Rongrong Liu +2
It has long been thought that black hole accretion flows are driven by magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence, and there are now many general relativistic global simulations illustra…
Simulation-Based Prediction of Black Hole X-ray Spectra and Spectral Variability
Rongrong Liu, Chris Nagele, Julian H Krolik +2
Data derived from general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of accretion onto black holes can be used as input to a postprocessing scheme that predicts the radiated spec…
Spin and Accretion Rate Dependence of Black Hole X-Ray Spectra
Brooks E. Kinch, Jeremy D. Schnittman, Scott C. Noble +2
We present a survey of how the spectral features of black hole X-ray binary systems depend on spin, accretion rate, viewing angle, and Fe abundance when predicted on the basis of f…
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…
Fe K Profiles from Simulations of Accreting Black Holes
Brooks E. Kinch, Jeremy D. Schnittman, Timothy R. Kallman +1
We present first results from a new technique for the prediction of Fe K profiles directly from general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations. Data from a GRMHD s…
