General Relativistic Simulations of Jet Formation by a Rapidly Rotating Black Hole
Recent observations of Galactic Black Hole Candidates (BHCs) suggest that those that are superluminal jet sources have more rapid black hole spin rates than otherwise normal BHCs. This provides observational support for models of relativistic jet formation that extract rotational energy of the central black hole. To investigate this mechanism, we have developed a new general relativistic magnet...
متن کاملGeneral Relativistic Simulations of Jet Formation in a Rapidly Rotating Black Hole Magnetosphere
To investigate the formation mechanism of relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei and micro-quasars, we have developed a new general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic code in Kerr geometry. Here we report on the first numerical simulation of jet formation in a rapidly-rotating (a = 0.95) Kerr black hole magnetosphere. We study cases in which the Keplerian accretion disk is both co-rotating a...
متن کاملA Magnetic Bomb Scenario for Relativistic Jet Events in the Microquasar GRS 1915 + 105
We present a magnetic bomb scenario for the multiwavelength behavior during " Type B " relativistic jet events in the microquasar GRS 1915+105. These events are characterized by a hard X-ray dip which terminates in a soft X-ray spike. The scenario, based on the suspended accretion model for long gamma-ray bursts, posits a magnetic dynamo around an accreting Kerr black hole which reaches the Van...
متن کاملSome First Steps Towards a Radiation GRMHD Code: Radiative Effects on Accretion Rate onto a Kerr Black Hole
The role of radiation in general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) accretion simulations is discussed through axisymmetric simulations of the evolution of an initial torus seeded with a weak magnetic field. The paper compares and contrasts the rate of accretion onto a Kerr black hole and mass flux out out of the initial torus at large radii in the GRMHD code of De Villiers & Hawley and a...
متن کاملDynamic Boundaries of Event Horizon Magnetospheres
This Letter analyzes 3-dimensional simulations of Kerr black hole magnetospheres that obey the general relativistic equations of perfect magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). Particular emphasis is on the event horizon magnetosphere (EHM) which is defined as the the large scale poloidal magnetic flux that threads the event horizon of a black hole (This is distinct from the poloidal magnetic flux that thr...
