This review covers the main aspects of black hole accretion disk theory. We begin with the view that one of the main goals of the theory is to better understand the nature of black holes …
Abstract We describe the Einstein Toolkit, a community-driven, freely accessible computational infrastructure intended for use in numerical relativity, relativistic astrophysics …
Fully general relativistic models of astrophysical sources are in high demand, not only since the discovery of gravitational waves emitted from merging stellar mass black holes (Abbott et …

Using numerical relativity simulations with a subgrid dynamo prescription to generate strong initial magnetic fields, we investigate the possibility of launching a jet-like outflow from the …
This monograph originates from lectures given at the General Relativity Trimester at the Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris [1]; at the VII Mexican School on Gravitation and …

We present the black hole accretion code (BHAC), a new multidimensional general- relativistic magnetohydrodynamics module for the MPI-AMRVAC framework. BHAC has …
Rotating relativistic stars have been studied extensively in recent years, both theoretically and observationally, because of the information they might yield about the equation of state …
