On the Physical Origins of the Millimeter Fundamental Plane in Active Galactic Nuclei

Abstract Observations of active galactic nuclei have revealed a correlation between millimeter luminosity, X-ray luminosity, and mass, suggesting the emission in each of these bands is powered by a common source. Starting with a set of five general relativistic magnetohydrodynami...

Signaturesof Black Hole Spin in Horizon-Scale Polarimetry

The angular momentum of a black hole, usually expressed in terms of a dimensionless “spin,” both shapes the strong-field spacetime and provides a reservoir of rotational energy that can be exchanged with surrounding plasma. Very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) has now begun t...
