Résumé scientifique

How a black hole's geometric critical scale manifests in an accretion-flow image is governed by photon propagation, plasma radiative processes, and instrumental resolution. In this work, we investigate radiatively inefficient accretion flows (RIAF) surrounding geometrically regular black holes with hedgehog scalar hair. Adopting the mass and distance of $\mathrm{M87}^*$, we generate total-intensity synchrotron images and systematically explore the viewing inclination, disk thickness, and observing frequency. For the fiducial setup at $230\,\mathrm{GHz}$, raising $L/M$ from $0$ to $0.9$ contracts the critical curve diameter by $4.78\%$, shrinks the half-flux radius by $4.07\%$, and lowers the required electron-density scale by $9.15\%$. At $84\,\mathrm{GHz}$, the primary brightness peaks shift farther outside the critical curve due to enhanced synchrotron self-absorption, whereas the sharper emission rings at $230$ and $345\,\mathrm{GHz}$ closely trace the critical curve. Ultimately, we find that although the regular core systematically contracts the emission ring and alters the required plasma density, resolving these deviations from a Schwarzschild black hole demands angular resolution finer than that achievable with current baselines.

    Résumé scientifique

    The angular momentum of gas feeding a black hole (BH) is typically misaligned with respect to the BH spin, resulting in a tilted accretion disk. Rotation of the BH drags the surrounding space-time, manifesting as Lense-Thirring torques that lead to disk precession and warping. We study these processes by simulating a thin ($H/r=0.02$), highly tilted ($\mathcal{T}=65^\circ$) accretion disk around a rapidly rotating ($a=0.9375$) BH at extremely high resolutions, which we performed using the general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) code H-AMR. The disk becomes significantly warped and continuously tears into two individually precessing sub-disks. We find that mass accretion rates far ex…

    Cette étude simule le refroidissement radiatif d’un disque autour d’un trou noir Kerr, tandis que l’article modélise le transfert radiatif dans un écoulement autour d’un trou noir à chevelure scalaire.

    Résumé scientifique

    X-ray binaries (XRBs) display spectral state transitions that are accompanied by substantial changes in the hardness, luminosity, and structure of the accretion flow. We developed a GPU-accelerated cooling toolkit for general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations of accreting black holes that uses texture memory for fast retrieval of pre-computed values. The toolkit incorporates bremsstrahlung, synchrotron, inverse Compton radiation and Coulomb collision processes. We implemented our toolkit into a GRMHD code and used it to simulate a magnetically arrested disk in the context of the XRB low/hard state around a Kerr black hole. We explored the mass accretion rate in the $\sim (…

    Relativistic Gas Accretion onto Supermassive Black Hole Binaries from Inspiral through Merger

    Cette étude modélise l’accrétion relativiste sur des binaires de trous noirs, contrairement à l’image d’un écoulement autour d’un trou noir régulier isolé.

    Résumé scientifique

    Accreting supermassive black hole binaries are powerful multimessenger sources emitting both gravitational and electromagnetic (EM) radiation. Understanding the accretion dynamics of these systems and predicting their distinctive EM signals is crucial to informing and guiding upcoming efforts aimed at detecting gravitational waves produced by these binaries. To this end, accurate numerical modeling is required to describe both the spacetime and the magnetized gas around the black holes. In this paper, we present two key advances in this field of research. First, we have developed a novel 3D general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) framework that combines multiple numerical codes to …

    Hot, cold, and multi-component accretion flows around supermassive black hole binaries
    Christopher Tiede, Daniel J. D'Orazio · 2025 · High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena · cité 6 fois · Résumé IA disponible

    Cette étude calcule les signatures spectrales de disques chauds et froids autour de binaires, tandis que l’article examine les images synchrotron d’un trou noir régulier.

    Résumé scientifique

    We develop a model for supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) accreting below their Eddington limit, focusing on systems where hot, advection-dominated flows become viable. We specifically explore the spectral appearance of multi-component accretion flows where the solution can independently transition between cold, thin disks and hot, advection-dominated torii depending on the local accretion rate. Using a three-disk model, we compute spectral energy distributions for four possible accretion configurations and assess their observational signatures, including which frequencies might reflect variability at the binary orbital period. The spectral modeling reveals that binary accretion can s…

    Spectral analysis of a parsec-scale jet in M87: Observational constraint on the magnetic field strengths in the jet
    Hyunwook Ro, Motoki Kino, Bong Won Sohn et al. · 2023 · High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena · cité 20 fois · Résumé IA disponible

    Cette étude déduit le champ magnétique du jet de M87 à partir de son spectre synchrotron, tandis que l’article simule les images synchrotron de son écoulement central.

    Résumé scientifique

    Because of its proximity and the large size of its black hole, M87 is one of the best targets for studying the launching mechanism of active galactic nucleus jets. Currently, magnetic fields are considered to be an essential factor in the launching and accelerating of the jet. However, current observational estimates of the magnetic field strength of the M87 jet are limited to the innermost part of the jet or to HST-1. No attempt has yet been made to measure the magnetic field strength in between. We aim to infer the magnetic field strength of the M87 jet out to a distance of several thousand $r_s$ by tracking the distance-dependent changes in the synchrotron spectrum of the jet from high-re…

    No Need for an Extreme Jet Energy in the Black-Hole X-Ray Binary MAXI J1348--630
    Andrzej A. Zdziarski, Marek Sikora, Michal Szanecki et al. · 2023 · High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena · cité 7 fois · Résumé IA disponible

    Cette étude estime l’énergie d’un jet de MAXI J1348--630 en modélisant son interaction avec le milieu, plutôt que l’image d’un écoulement autour d’un trou noir.

    Résumé scientifique

    We model interaction with the surrounding medium of the main discrete jet ejection in the accreting black-hole binary MAXI J1348--630. The kinetic energy in the ejection of that jet was estimated before to be $>10^{46}$ erg. That energy requires that the jet power was about two orders of magnitude above the limit corresponding to a magnetically arrested accretion onto a maximally rotating black hole. That estimate was obtained by considering the initial ballistic jet propagation in a surrounding cavity followed by a sudden deceleration in the interstellar medium under the assumption of its standard density of $\sim$1 cm$^{-3}$. Such densities are likely in the surrounding of this source give…

    Evidence for low power radio jet-ISM interaction at 10 parsec in the dwarf AGN host NGC 4395

    Résumé scientifique

    Black hole driven outfBlack hole driven outflows in galaxies hosting active galactic nuclei (AGN) may interact with their interstellar medium (ISM) affecting star formation. Such feedback processes, reminiscent of those seen in massive galaxies, have been reported recently in some dwarf galaxies. However, such studies have usually been on kiloparsec and larger scales and our knowledge on the smallest spatial scales to which this feedback processes can operate is unclear. Here we demonstrate radio jet-ISM interaction on the scale of an asymmetric triple radio structure of $\sim$10 parsec size in NGC 4395. This triplet radio structure is seen in the 15 GHz continuum image and the two asymmetri…

    Résumé scientifique

    Astrophysical black holes are expected to be described by the Kerr metric. This is the only stationary, vacuum, axisymmetric metric, without electromagnetic charge, that satisfies Einstein's equations and does not have pathologies outside of the event horizon. We present new constraints on potential deviations from the Kerr prediction based on 2017 EHT observations of Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). We calibrate the relationship between the geometrically defined black hole shadow and the observed size of the ring-like images using a library that includes both Kerr and non-Kerr simulations. We use the exquisite prior constraints on the mass-to-distance ratio for Sgr A* to show that the observed imag…
