PATOKA: Simulating Electromagnetic Observables of Black Hole Accretion
George N. Wong, Ben S. Prather, Vedant Dhruv +11
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has released analyses of reconstructed images of horizon-scale millimeter emission near the supermassive black hole at the center of the M87 galax…
The Event Horizon General Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamic Code Comparison Project
Oliver Porth, Koushik Chatterjee, Ramesh Narayan +25
Recent developments in compact object astrophysics, especially the discovery of merging neutron stars by LIGO, the imaging of the black hole in M87 by the Event Horizon Telescope (…
A unified model for tidal disruption events
Lixin Dai, Jonathan C. McKinney, Nathaniel Roth +2
In the past few years wide-field optical and UV transient surveys as well as X-ray telescopes have allowed us to identify a few dozen candidate tidal disruption events (TDEs). Whil…
Observational Signatures of Mass-Loading in Jets Launched by Rotating Black Holes
Michael O' Riordan, Asaf Pe'er, Jonathan C. McKinney
It is widely believed that relativistic jets in X-ray binaries and active-galactic nuclei are powered by the rotational energy of black holes. This idea is supported by general-rel…
Angular Momentum Transport in Thin Magnetically Arrested Disks
Megan D. Marshall, Mark J. Avara, Jonathan C. McKinney
In accretion disks with large-scale ordered magnetic fields, the magnetorotational instability (MRI) is marginally suppressed, so other processes may drive angular momentum transpo…
General Relativistic Radiation Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations of Thin Magnetically Arrested Disks
Danilo Morales Teixeira, Mark J. Avara, Jonathan C. McKinney
The classical, relativistic thin-disk theory of Novikov and Thorne (NT) predicts a maximum accretion efficiency of 40% for an optically thick, radiatively efficient accretion disk…
