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…

New estimates of the spin and accretion rate of the black hole M87*
Michael Drew, Joshua S. Stanway, Brett A. Patterson +2
In this paper we use the imaging results of M87* from the EHT to calculate the rotational velocity of the inner edge of the accretion disk and find a value of 0.14c. We then…
