Introduction

We are making progress to understand the plasma conditions and magnetic fields around supermassive black holes.

Summary of science papers using ipole

  • EHT Paper V

    The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has mapped the central compact radio source of the elliptical galaxy M87 at 1.3 mm with unprecedented angular resolution. Here we consider the physical implications of the asymmetric ring seen in the 2017 EHT data.

  • Radpol code

    Here we describe extention of ipole and grmonty codes that includes effects of inverse-Compton scattering of photons on free electrons.

  • ipole code description paper

    We describe numerical scheme and tests ipole code.
