Understanding Magnetic Dissipation in the Magnetar Magnetosphere Regime
Michael Grehan
Magnetars produce the brightest detected outbursts in the X-ray and radio bands, offering unique opportunities to probe extreme plasma physics and exotic quantum electrodynamic processes. Magnetospheric reconnection is a suspected mechanism for generating bursts and giant flares. However, modeling…Quantifying flux rope characteristics in relativistic 3D reconnection simulations
Jesse Vos - KU Leuven
Plasmoid-dominated magnetic reconnection is known to convert magnetic energy into heat and kinetic energy and is thought to be closely related to high-energy emission features originating near compact objects. We present preliminary results of high-resolution special-relativistic resistive…Rethinking The Black Hole Corona as an Extended, Multizone Outflow
Lia Hankla - University of Maryland, College Park
Observations of luminous black holes in X-ray binaries and Seyfert galaxies show power-law emission, thought to originate from photons that inverse Compton scatter off a hot electron cloud. If the coronal electrons are heated by magnetic dissipation, i.e. reconnection or turbulence, then one might…Fermions and Gaussianity ; Resources and Simulability
Andrew Projansky
Matchgates are a well studied class of quantum circuits tied to the time dynamics of Free Fermion Hamiltonians. It is important to note however that Matchgates specifically come from representing Free Fermions with the Jordan-Wigner encoding. When we represent our fermionic systems with other…Hot, Retrograde Tilted MADs: Misaligned, Precessing, and Shaped by Electromagnetic Torques
Sajal Gupta
Tilted magnetically arrested disks (MADs) around black holes—where strong magnetic fields regulate accretion and jets—exhibit striking alignment behavior dictated by black hole spin direction. Using 3D general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations of tilted MADs, we find that prograde…Black Hole Jet Sheath as a Candidate for the Comptonizing Corona
Navin Sridhar - Stanford University
What powers the hard, non-thermal X-rays from accreting compact objects has been a longstanding mystery. In my talk, I will address the underlying question of what energizes the particles of the Comptonizing “corona” against the strong inverse Compton (IC) cooling losses with first-principle…Lecture - Quantum Field Theory III - PHYS 777

Modeling Luminous Black Hole Accretion Flows with AthenaK
James Stone - IAS
A new version of the Athena++ AMR MHD code implemented using the Kokkos library for performance-portability will be described. The code is being used for a variety of problems related to accretion onto (and merger of) compact objects. This talk will focus on results from general relativistic…Snap, Crackle and Pop

An alternative interpretation of the EHT observations of M87, involving a strongly magnetized ergomagnetosphere, that expels essentially of the gas supplied at large radius as a jet-collimating MHD wind is described. In this case, the emitting regions are approximated as rapidly evolving flares or…
