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…
Thermodynamics of Kerr-Newman-Bertotti-Robinson black holes

In this work, we extend the thermodynamic analyses of the neutral and specially charged Kerr-Bertotti-Robinson black holes to the general Kerr-Newman-Bertotti-Robinson family, in w…
Shadows and Thin-Disk Images of Kerr-Newman Black Holes in a Bertotti-Robinson Magnetic Field
Xi Wan, Haiyu Wang, Zhenyu Zhang +2
In this paper, we investigate the optical properties of Kerr-Newman-Bertotti-Robinson (KN-BR) black holes. We use the separability of null geodesics to analyze unstable spherical p…
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…

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…
Non-thermal Synchrotron Emission and Polarization Signatures during Black Hole Flux Eruptions

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…
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…
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…
Invertible Diffusion Models for Compressed Sensing
Bin Chen, Zhenyu Zhang, Weiqi Li +5
While deep neural networks (NN) significantly advance image compressed sensing (CS) by improving reconstruction quality, the necessity of training current CS NNs from scratch const…
