Pair Drizzle around Sub-Eddington Supermassive Black Holes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used radiation GRMHD simulations to extend an earlier study of pair drizzle by Moscibrodzka et al. and found that pair drizzling in M87 is sufficient to keep the magnetospheric charge density orders of magnitude above the Goldreich-Julian density.

Modeling COVID-19 dynamics in Illinois under non-pharmaceutical interventions
George N. Wong,Zachary J. Weiner,Alexei V. Tkachenko,Ahmed Elbanna,Sergei Maslov,Nigel Goldenfeld +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a non-Markovian age-of-infection model is used to model the COVID-19 epidemic in Illinois, USA, capturing the implementation of a Stay-at-Home order and scenarios for its eventual release.

Feature Extraction on Synthetic Black Hole Images
TL;DR: This work explores parameter extraction using a neural network trained on high resolution synthetic images drawn from state-of-the-art simulations and finds that the neural network is able to recover spin and flux with high accuracy.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The Event Horizon Explorer (EHE) is a mission concept to extend the Event Horizon Telescope via an additional space-based node as mentioned in this paper , which is proposed to study the immediate environment around supermassive black holes.
