Example of ipole run postprocessing GRMHD simulation of accreting black hole.

Polarized radiative transfer in GR

I have developed three codes for relativistic polarized light transport through GRMHD simulations of accreting black holes:
  • ipole imaging code (code paper, code repository, lite code repository, )
  • radpol spectral code (code paper, code repository)
  • GPU-ipole super-efficient version of ipole (code paper, code repository)

  • Synchrotron transfer coefficients algorithms

    I have developed numerical schemes for efficient evaluation of synchrotron emission/absorption/Faraday rotation/Faraday conversion radiative transfer coefficients for arbitrary electron distribution functions in relativistic plasmas:
  • Stochastic averaging scheme (algorithm paper)
  • Stochastic averaging decomposition code Chorus (method paper, code repository)

  • Visualization tools for theory of general relativity

    I have developed numerical schemes for Visualization of plasma in extreme gravity
  • VR movies of accreting black holes (method paper)
  • LIC scheme for plotting polarization (code repository)
