Polarimetric signatures of hot spots in black hole accretion flows

چکیده

The flaring events observed in the Sagittarius A* supermassive black hole system can be attributed to non-homogeneous nature of near-horizon accretion flow. Bright regions this flow may associated with density or temperature anisotropies, so-called "bright spot" "hot spots". Such orbiting features explain observations at infrared wavelengths as well recent findings millimeter wavelengths. In work, we study emission from an equatorial bright spot, imposed on a radiatively inefficient background, find polarimetric indicative underlying magnetic field structure and other variables including inclination angle, spot size, spin, more. Specifically, investigate impact these parameters Stokes Q-U signatures that commonly exhibit typical double loop (pretzel-like) structure. Our semi-analytical model, describing plasma conditions is built within framework numerical radiative transfer code ipole, which calculates synchroton 230 GHz. We showcase wide variety relation between inner outer loops. For vertical topology, explained by suppression synchrotron seen distant observer. radial toroidal topologies, \quloop corresponds part orbit where it receding respect Based our models conclude possible constrain topology analysis geometry, particularly combination circular polarization measurements.

Numerical models of black hole accretion flows

Black hole accretion flows are the hot, magnetized, turbulent plasma that surround black holes in astrophysical settings and in some cases make them the most luminous objects in the universe. I review recent developments in the numerical modeling of these plasmas. For weakly radiating flows it is now possible to follow the dynamics of the plasma by integrating the equations of general relativis...

r-Process Nucleosynthesis in Hot Accretion Disk Flows from Black Hole - Neutron Star Mergers

We consider hot accretion disk outflows from black hole neutron star mergers in the context of the nucleosynthesis they produce. We begin with a three dimensional numerical model of a black hole neutron star merger and calculate the neutrino and antineutrino fluxes emitted from the resulting accretion disk. We then follow the element synthesis in material outflowing the disk along parameterized...

Three-dimensional Radiative Properties of Hot Accretion Flows onto the Galactic Centre Black Hole

By solving radiative transfer equations, we examine three-dimensional radiative properties of a magnetohydrodynamic accretion flow model confronting with the observed spectrum of Sgr A*, in the vicinity of supermassive black hole at the Galactic centre. As a result, we find that the core of radio emission is larger than the size of the event horizon shadow and its peak location is shifted from ...

Excitation of Low-Frequency QPOs in Black Hole Accretion Flows

We present the results of global three dimensional magneto-hydrodynamic simulations of black hole accretion flows. We focus on the dependence of numerical results on the gas temperature Tout supplied from the outer region. General relativistic effects are taken into account using the pseudo-Newtonian potential. We ignore the radiative cooling of the accreting gas. The initial state is a torus w...

Spallation of Iron in Black Hole Accretion Flows

In the local Galactic interstellar medium there is approximate energy equipartition between cosmic rays, magnetic fields and radiation. If this holds in the central regions of AGN, in particular Seyfert galaxies, then consideral nuclear spallation of Fe occurs, resulting in enhanced abundances of the sub-Fe elements Ti, V, Cr and Mn. These elements produce a cluster of X-ray flourescence lines ...
