Strongly Magnetized Black Hole Accretion Flows: Jets, Spin Evolution, and New Observational Probes
Angelo Ricarte
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall

Spatially resolved polarimetric images of black holes with the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) favor models with strong magnetic fields, so-called Magnetically Arrested Disks or MAD models.  MADs can produce efficient jets via the Blandford-Znajek (BZ...
