Energetic constraints on electromagnetic signals from double black hole mergers
Lixin Dai, Jonathan C. McKinney, M. Coleman Miller
The possible Fermi detection of an electromagnetic counterpart to the double black hole merger GW150914 has inspired many theoretical models, some of which propose that the holes s…
Double Compton and Cyclo-Synchrotron in Super-Eddington Disks, Magnetized Coronae, and Jets
Jonathan C. McKinney, Jens Chluba, Maciek Wielgus +2
We present an extension to the general relativistic radiation magnetohydrodynamic code HARMRAD to account for emission and absorption by thermal cyclo-synchrotron, double Compton,…
Effects of Spin on High-Energy Radiation from Accreting Black Holes
Michael O' Riordan, Asaf Pe'er, Jonathan C. McKinney
Observations of jets in X-ray binaries show a correlation between radio power and black hole spin. This correlation, if confirmed, points towards the idea that relativistic jets ma…
Probing the magnetic field structure in Sgr A* on Black Hole Horizon Scales with Polarized Radiative Transfer Simulations
Roman Gold, Jonathan C. McKinney, Michael D. Johnson +1
Magnetic fields are believed to drive accretion and relativistic jets in black hole accretion systems, but the magnetic-field structure that controls these phenomena remains uncert…
