A Magnetohydrodynamic Model of the M87 Jet I: Superluminal Knot Ejections from HST-1 as Trails of Quad Relativistic MHD Shocks
Masanori Nakamura, David Garofalo, David L. Meier
This is the first in a series of papers that introduces a new paradigm for understanding the jet in M87: a collimated relativistic flow in which strong magnetic fields play a domin…
Misconceptions About General Relativity in Theoretical Black Hole Astrophysics
David Garofalo, David L. Meier
The fundamental role played by black holes in our study of microquasars, gamma ray bursts, and the outflows from active galactic nuclei requires an appreciation for, and at times s…
The Evolution of Radio Loud Active Galactic Nuclei as a Function of Black Hole Spin
David Garofalo, Dan A. Evans, Rita M. Sambruna
Recent work on the engines of active galactic nuclei jets suggests their power depends strongly and perhaps counter-intuitively on black hole spin. We explore the consequences of t…
