Polarization Architecture of Steady GRMHD Jets from the Horizon to Infinity
Zhenyu Zhang, Yehui Hou, Yu Song +2
We develop a semi-analytic framework for stationary, axisymmetric GRMHD jets that efficiently generates resolved polarized images from the near-horizon region out to $\sim 10^5\,r_…
Testing solitonic boson star interpretations of Sagittarius A* with near-infrared flare astrometry
Xiangyu Wang, Zhenyu Zhang, Hai-Qing Zhang +2
We use GRAVITY near-infrared (NIR) flare astrometry to test whether Sagittarius A* could be a solitonic boson star. We consider five spherically symmetric solitonic boson-star mode…
Non-thermal Synchrotron Emission and Polarization Signatures during Black Hole Flux Eruptions
Fan Zhou, Jiewei Huang, Yuehang Li +4
In this work, we investigate synchrotron emission and the observational signatures of anisotropic non-thermal electrons during magnetic-flux eruptions in a magnetically arrested di…
Critical Behavior of Photon Rings in Kerr-Bertotti-Robinson Spacetime
Xi Wan, Zhenyu Zhang, Fang-Stars Wei +2
In this work, we investigate the critical behavior of photon rings in the Kerr-Bertotti-Robinson spacetime, describing a rotating black hole immersed in a background magnetic field…
Constraining the Primordial Black Hole Abundance with Space-Based Detectors
Wencong Hong, Shi Pi, Ao Wang +1
Overdense regions can collapse into primordial black holes (PBHs) in the early universe, which are a compelling candidate for dark matter. Current constraints leave the asteroid-ma…
Autocorrelation signatures in time-resolved black hole flare images: secondary peaks and convergence structure
Zhenyu Zhang, Yehui Hou, Minyong Guo +2
The strong gravitational field of a black hole bends light, forming multi-level images, yet extracting precise spacetime information from them remains challenging. In this study, w…
