How important is non-ideal physics in simulations of sub-Eddington accretion onto spinning black holes?
Francois Foucart, Mani Chandra, Charles F. Gammie +2
Black holes with accretion rates well below the Eddington rate are expected to be surrounded by low-density, hot, geometrically thick accretion disks. This includes the two black h…
grim: A Flexible, Conservative Scheme for Relativistic Fluid Theories
Mani Chandra, Francois Foucart, Charles F. Gammie
Hot, diffuse, relativistic plasmas such as sub-Eddington black hole accretion flows are expected to be collisionless, yet are commonly modeled as a fluid using ideal general relati…
Polarized Synchrotron Emissivities and Absorptivities for Relativistic Thermal, Power-Law, and Kappa Distribution Functions
Alex Pandya, Zhaowei Zhang, Mani Chandra +1
Synchrotron emission and absorption determine the observational appearance of many astronomical systems. In this paper, we describe a numerical scheme for calculating synchrotron e…
