Toward Horizon-scale Accretion onto Supermassive Black Holes in Elliptical Galaxies

Toward Horizon-scale Accretion onto Supermassive Black Holes in Elliptical Galaxies

We present high-resolution, three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of the fueling of supermassive black holes in elliptical galaxies from a turbulent medium on galactic scales, taking M87* as a typical case. The simulations use a new GPU-accelerated version of the Athena++ AMR code, and they spa...
