Three-Dimensional Simulations of Magnetized Thin Accretion Disks around Black Holes: Stress in the Plunging Region
Rebecca Shafee, Jonathan C. McKinney, Ramesh Narayan +3
We describe three-dimensional general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of a geometrically thin accretion disk around a non-spinning black hole. The disk has a thickness…

Simulations of Ultrarelativistic Magnetodynamic Jets from Gamma-ray Burst Engines
Alexander Tchekhovskoy, Jonathan C. McKinney, Ramesh Narayan
Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) require an engine capable of driving a jet of plasma to ultrarelativistic bulk Lorentz factors of up to several hundred and into narrow openin…
