Radiative 2T GRMHD Simulation of a Black Hole Spectral State Transition: BHXRB from High to Low MAD

Radiative 2T GRMHD Simulation of a Black Hole Spectral State Transition: BHXRB from High to Low MAD

Black hole spectral state transition from M=10^3 Medd to M=Medd for a 10 solar mass black hole. The disk is saturated with vertical magnetic flux aka "MAD". Left panel gives the density (in g/cm^3), middle panel gives the plasma beta (ratio between gas+radiation pressure and magnetic pressure, and right panel gives electron temperature (in Kelvin).
