Image Morphology of Misaligned Magnetically Arrested Disks
Samuel Feyan, Cora Prather, Dominic O. Chang +3
Horizon scale images probe the plasma dynamics and spacetime in the vicinity of accreting black holes. Interpreting these images requires models that connect image morphology to th…
Dynamics and geometry of the inner sub-parsec-scale jet in 3C 279 observed with the Event Horizon Telescope
Hendrik Mueller, Sebastiano D. von Fellenberg, Ai-Ling Zeng +275
The 2021 Event Horizon Telescope observations resolve the innermost jet region of the blazar 3C279 with unprecedented detail. The reconstructed images consistently reveal a compact…
Ring Position Angles and Spin in M87* and Sgr A*
Nicholas S. Conroy, Michi Bauböck, Vadim Bernshteyn +4
Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) images of black holes appear as rings with a brightness asymmetry. Here, we expand on our previous study of the asymmetry magnitude to study the…
Supermassive Black Holes: modelling strongly and weakly magnetised misaligned accretion disks
Joshua Samuel Stanway, Cora Prather, Derek Ward-Thompson +3
In this paper, we carry out a numerical study of misaligned accretion disks around spinning supermassive black holes. Here, we conduct a parameter survey covering a range of initia…
Polarization Signatures from GRMHD Simulations of Black Hole Accretion
P. Chris Fragile, Maciek Wielgus, Cora Prather
This chapter tells the still-unfolding story of extracting polarization signatures from general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics simulations of accretion disks. In some sense, thi…
Observational Properties of Near-Maximally Spinning Supermassive Black Holes
Tegan A. Thomas, Angelo Ricarte, Cora Prather +1
Black holes described by the Kerr metric can have a theoretical maximum dimensionless spin parameter of , but several effects may limit the maximum spin parameter in…
Sensitivities of Black Hole Images from GRMHD Simulations
Pedro Naethe Motta, Mário Raia Neto, Cora Prather +1
The advent of high-fidelity imaging of supermassive black holes calls for efficient and robust data-analysis methods. In this work, we use , a differentiable, $\te…
Observational distinguishability of the Kerr and Kerr-Hayward metrics to EHT
Nikola Bukowiecka, Angelo Ricarte, Prashant Kocherlakota +1
Astrophysical black holes appear well-represented by the Kerr metric, whose maximal analytic extension contains a ringlike curvature singularity. We study a phenomenological regula…
Bridging Scales in Black Hole Accretion and Feedback: Subgrid Prescription from First Principles
Hyerin Cho, Ben S. Prather, Ramesh Narayan +4
Understanding how supermassive black holes (BHs) couple to their host galaxies across a vast spatial and temporal dynamic range remains a central challenge in galaxy evolution. Usi…
