Jet variability in small mass ratio supermassive black hole binaries
Three-dimensional GRMHD simulations show how a precessing, unequal-mass binary perturbs its circumbinary disk and imprints orbital-timescale variability on large-scale relativistic jets.
Jet–environment interaction after delayed collapse
Self-consistent GRMHD merger simulations follow a massive-neutron-star–driven polar outflow, delayed collapse to a black hole, and the subsequent black-hole–disk incipient jet as it propagates through that environment.
Magnetic eruption and nucleosynthesis in spinning neutron-star mergers
Three GRνMHD simulations show how neutron-star spin shapes magnetic amplification and outflows, while neutrino reprocessing influences the ejecta composition and resulting r-process abundance patterns.
Implementing a new recovery scheme for primitive variables in Spritz
RePrimAnd is integrated into the Spritz GRMHD code and validated in demanding three-dimensional tests, including magnetized low-density flows, collapse of a hypermassive neutron star to a black hole, and a Fishbone–Moncrief black-hole accretion torus.
