abstract

We present a new general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) code integrated into the Athena++ framework. Improving upon the techniques used in most GRMHD codes, ours allows the use of advanced, less diffusive Riemann solvers, in particular HLLC and HLLD. We also employ a staggered-mesh constrained transport algorithm suited for curvilinear coordinate systems in order to maintain the divergence-free constraint of the magnetic field. Our code is designed to work with arbitrary stationary spacetimes in one, two, or three dimensions, and we demonstrate its reliability in a number of tests. We also report on its promising performance and scalability.

A Jet from a Nearly Dormant Black Hole

astro-ph.HE · 2026-06-10 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

Multi-frequency VLBI observations detect a two-sided jet with steep synchrotron spectrum from the nearly dormant SMBH in M60, with frequency-dependent core shift locating the engine ~10 Schwarzschild radii upstream of the 8.37 GHz core.

A magnetar formation in binary neutron star merger

astro-ph.HE · 2026-06-09 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

High-resolution GR neutrino-radiation MHD simulation of 1.35-1.35 Msun BNS merger shows KHI-driven B-field amplification to magnetar levels (~10^50 erg, factor >=316) in 3 ms post-merger.
