General relativistic radiative transfer: formulation and emission from structured tori around black holes
Ziri Younsi, Kinwah Wu, Steven V. Fuerst
We construct a general relativistic radiative transfer (RT) formulation, applicable to particles with or without mass in astrophysical settings. Derived from first principles, the…
Quasi-Periodic Flares from Star-Accretion Disc Collisions
Lixin Dai, Steven V. Fuerst, Roger Blandford
We present simulated results of quasi-periodic flares generated by the inelastic collisions of a star bound to a super-massive black hole (SMBH) and its attendant accretion disc. W…
Relativistic reflection X-ray spectra of accretion disks
Khee-Gan Lee, Kinwah Wu, Steven V. Fuerst +2
We have calculated the relativistic reflection component of the X-ray spectra of accretion disks in active galactic nuclei (AGN). Our calculations have shown that the spectra can b…
Line emission from optically thick relativistic accretion tori
Steven V. Fuerst, Kinwah Wu
We calculate line emission from relativistic accretion tori around Kerr black holes and investigate how the line profiles depend on the viewing inclination, spin of the central bla…
3-D GRMHD and GRPIC Simulations of Disk-Jet Coupling and Emission
K. -I. Nishikawa, Y. Mizuno, M. Watson +4
We investigate jet formation in black-hole systems using 3-D General Relativistic Particle-In-Cell (GRPIC) and 3-D GRMHD simulations. GRPIC simulations, which allow charge separati…
Principal component analysis of the X-ray variability in NGC 7469
A. J. Blustin, S. V. Fuerst, G. Branduardi-Raymont +3
We apply Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to study the variability of the X-ray continuum in the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 7469. The PCA technique is used to separate out linear compo…
