Dense Dump Codec: Error-Controlled, Random-Access Compression of GRMHD Time Series for Slow-Light Radiative Transfer

Zelin Zhang, Zhenyu Zhang, Bin Chen

Black-hole movies provide a unique venue to study the time evolution of accreting plasma. Modeling this evolution with slow-light radiative transfer requires closely spaced simulat…

KPolaris: GPU-accelerated Polarized Radiative Transfer in General Relativity

Zelin Zhang, Bin Chen

Polarized black-hole images carry information about both the magnetized plasma and the curved spacetime through which the radiation propagates. We present KPolaris, an open-source…

CoportSL: A Contribution-constrained Hybrid Slow-light Framework for Time-dependent Polarized GRMHD Imaging

Fan Zhou, Jiewei Huang, Yuehang Li +2

Fast-light approximations neglect fluid evolution along rays, whereas slow-light modeling is indispensable for recovering the true magnetohydrodynamic state. However, full slow-lig…

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_…

Black Hole Ringdown Seen in Photon Polarization Swings

Jiewei Huang, Yehui Hou, Zhen Zhong +2

Light propagating through a perturbed spacetime could imprint the underlying gravitational waveform directly onto electromagnetic observables. In this Letter, we develop a covarian…

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…
