Corotating point sources on accretion disks near black holes distort the relative magnification factor distribution, modulating caustics and encoding accretion flow kinematics via time-delayed images.
Inspiraling hotspots near Kerr black holes produce precessing, unwinding Stokes Q-U polarization loops, unlike the closed loops of stable circular orbits.
Fitting GRAVITY flare astrometry to solitonic boson star models requires masses larger than 4.3 million solar masses, with more diffuse models yielding values closer to the standard black hole mass and thus placing stringent but incomplete constraints on such interpretations of Sgr A*.
3D PIC simulations of relativistic turbulence show mirror interactions drive perpendicular momentum gains correlated with local magnetic-field strengthening, yielding anisotropic high-energy particle distributions and enhanced confinement.
