Radiation Transport Two-temperature GRMHD Simulations of Warped Accretion Disks
In many black hole (BH) systems, the accretion disk is expected to be misaligned with respect to the BH spin axis. If the scale height of the disk is much smaller than the misalignment angle, the spin of the BH can tear the disk into multiple, independently precessing “sub-disks.” This is most likel...
