Modeling Polarized Emission from Black Hole Jets: Application to M87 Core Jet

Abstract: Abstract:We combine three-dimensional general-relativistic numerical models of hot, magnetized Advection Dominated Accretion Flows around a supermassive black hole and the corresponding outflows from them with a general relativistic polarized radiative transfer model to produce synthetic radio images and spectra of jet outflows. We apply the model to the underluminous core of M87 galaxy. The assumptions and results of the calculations are discussed in context of millimeter observations of the M87 jet launching… Show more

“…This will be our only physical assumption and it will lead us to a clear signature. It would be interesting to find an example of a physical mechanism that would produce such a polarization profile at the source-in the interim, we simply note that traditional simulations also appear to predict a whorl-like pattern in certain regimes [22][23][24]27].…”

“…The optical appearance of the black hole is largely determined by the brightness of the surrounding emission region, and has been the focus of intense investigation [12][13][14][15][16][17]. The EHT will also measure the polarization of incident light, which is expected to carry important information about dynamics in the region surrounding the black hole [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. The present work concerns this polarimetric image, which has received comparatively less attention.…”

“…Impelled by the forthcoming EHT observations of Sgr A * and the radio core of M 87, spectra and images of the accretion disc/BH/jet system are currently being performed by post-processing GRMHD simulations using relativistic radiative transfer (for radiative processes such as synchrotron emission, self-absorption, and inverse-Compton processes) and ray-tracing including general relativistic effects ( [101] and references therein; see also Figure 3) after modeling the location-dependent distribution functions of the emitting particles. However, it is important to note that, despite the huge advances experienced by the numerical simulation of the jet formation process, they still suffer from important theoretical uncertainties.…”
