Efficient generation of jets from magnetically arrested accretion on a rapidly spinning black hole
Efficient generation of jets from magnetically arrested accretion on a rapidly spinning black hole
We describe global, 3D, time-dependent, non-radiative, general-relativistic, magnetohydrodynamic simulations of accreting black holes (BHs). The simulations are designed to transport a large amount of magnetic flux to the center, more than the accreting gas can force into the BH. The excess magnetic flux remains outside the BH, impedes accretion, and …
