Near-Horizon Polarization as a Diagnostic of Black Hole Spacetime
Yehui Hou, Jiewei Huang, Minyong Guo +2
A key challenge in imaging supermassive black holes is disentangling gravitational effects from plasma physics in order to accurately determine spacetime properties, particularly b…
Polarization Patterns of the Hotspots Plunging into a Kerr Black Hole
Bin Chen, Yehui Hou, Yu Song +1
The multi-wavelength polarized light signals from supermassive black holes have sparked many studies on polarized images of accretion disks and hotspots. However, the polarization…
Energy Extraction from a Kerr Black Hole via Magnetic Reconnection within the Plunging Region
Bin Chen, Yehui Hou, Junyi Li +1
Magnetic reconnection within a highly magnetized plasma has been seen as a viable mechanism to extract the energy from a rotating black hole, as it can generate negative energy pla…
Imaging thick accretion disks and jets surrounding black holes
Zhenyu Zhang, Yehui Hou, Minyong Guo +1
Based on the horizon-scale magnetofluid model developed in [arXiv:2309.13304], we investigate the millimeter-wave images of a geometrically thick accretion disk or a funnel wall, i…
