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…

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…

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…

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…
