Simulating Black Hole Feasts, Burps, Fireworks, and Gravitational Waves

Join a seminar exploring cutting-edge general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations that reveal how black holes interact with their surroundings. Delve into the fascinating phenomena of black hole feeding mechanisms, energetic outbursts, and electromagnetic emissions across various scenarios - from supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei to stellar-mass black holes involved in neutron star mergers and massive star collapses. Learn about the AGN feedback process, M-Sigma relation, radio luminosity, and the interstellar medium through Athena observations. Examine the complex dynamics of black hole accretion, the Alpha-Omega dynamo, and boundary conditions in these simulations. Conclude with an investigation of how jets from stellar collapse can generate gravitational waves detectable by current observatories, offering a comprehensive look at the latest developments in black hole physics and astrophysics.
