The Jet-disk Boundary Layer in Black Hole Accretion

TL;DR: In this paper, the boundary layer between lightly loaded polar field lines and a dense, equatorial accretion flow is investigated, and it is shown numerically that the jet-disk boundary is unstable.

Mahakala: a Python-based Modular Ray-tracing and Radiative Transfer Algorithm for Curved Space-times

TL;DR: Mahakala as mentioned in this paper is a Python-based, modular, radiative ray-tracing code for curved space-times that uses the Cartesian Kerr-Schild coordinate system, which avoids numerical issues caused by the pole of spherical coordinates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of Polarized Radiative Transfer Codes Used by the EHT Collaboration

Ben Prather, +271 more
TL;DR: In this article , a selection of ray-tracing general relativistic radiative transfer (GRRT) codes were evaluated for accuracy and consistency in producing a sample of test images.

VLBInet: Radio Interferometry Data Classification for EHT with Neural Networks.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a data-driven approach to analyze complex visibilities and closure quantities for radio interferometric data with neural networks, and they showed that their neural networks are able to infer the accretion state as either high magnetic flux or low magnetic flux (SANE), suggesting that it is possible to perform parameter extraction directly in the visibility domain.

Demonstrating Photon Ring Existence with Single-Baseline Polarimetry

TL;DR: In this paper , a gain-robust interferometric quantity was constructed to detect the transition between the weakly lensed accretion flow image and the strongly lensed photon ring.
