Unraveling Twisty Linear Polarization Morphologies in Black Hole Images

Unraveling Twisty Linear Polarization Morphologies in Black Hole Images

We investigate general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations to determine the physical origin of the twisty patterns of linear polarization seen in spatially resolved black hole images and explain their morphological dependence on black hole spin. By characterizing the observed emission with...
