Polarized Synchrotron Radiation from Hot BH Accretion Flows |

Abstract |
Accreting black holes (BHs) are at the core of relativistic astrophysics as messengers of the strong-field regime of General Relativity and prime targets of several observational campaigns, including imaging the black holes and their surroundings in SagA* and M87 on horizon scales with the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). I will present results from GR polarized radiative transfer (synchrotron radiation) studies of global GRMHD simulations of a central BH embedded in a hot, magnetized disk. The results are discussed in the context of EHT data and their usefulness in narrowing down the region of viability for various emission models involving a disk and/or jet. |
