Radiative Cooling Changes the Dynamics of Magnetically Arrested Disks

We study magnetically arrested disks (MADs) around rotating black holes (BHs) under the influence of radiative cooling. We introduce a critical value of the mass accretion rate ${\dot{M}}_{{\rm{crit}}}$ for which the cooling by the synchrotron process efficiently radiates the thermal energy of the d...
