General Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamic Bondi--Hoyle Accretion

Understand

In this paper we present a fully relativistic study of axisymmetric magnetohydrodynamic Bondi--Hoyle accretion onto a moving Kerr black hole.

• The equations of general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics are solved using high resolution shock capturing methods.
• In this treatment we consider the ideal MHD limit.
• The parameters of interest in this study are the adiabatic constant $\Gamma$, the asymptotic speed of sound $c_{s}^{\infty}$, and the plasma beta parameter $\beta_{P}$.
