General Relativistic-Magnetohydrodynamic and Radiative-Transfer simulations of accretion onto Sgr A*

The movie shows the evolution of black hole and magnetised accretion disk system, and radiation at radio frequencies emitted by the hot plasma (red colours) falling onto the rotating black hole and launching a high magnetised jet where the plasma is moving at relativistic speeds (blue colours). The zoom-in shows details of the plasma near the black hole and transits to the a vision of the radiation emitted at 230 GHz heated reported with red-oranges colors. The morphology and intensity of the electromagnetic emission varies as the plasma evolves, but also with the inclination angle of the observer. The images were blurred to the same resolution as Event Horizon Telescope collaboration combined telescopes. This movie shows an example of the simulation and images of the EHT library, which is composed of more than a million of images. Credit A. Cruz-Osorio, L. Rezzolla (Frankfurt), Z.
