Title: "Simulations of Optically Thick Accretion onto Black Holes - The Power of Radiative Jets"
2/17/2015
2 pm – 3 pm
Wilder 202
Sponsored by: Physics & Astronomy Department
Intended Audience(s): Public
Categories: Lectures & Seminars
Abstract: In this talk I will describe challenges of simulating thin and
super-critical accretion disks and present the numerical methods that
allow for global simulations in general relativity. I will then
present in detail solutions for disks accreting above the Eddington
rate and show that the radiative jets they produce can be very
powerful even without any extraction of the black hole rotational
energy.
