A Monte Carlo model of a Kerr black hole corona shows that photon collisions create a dense electron-positron pair cloud concentrated near the black hole, yielding X-ray temperatures, Compton parameters, and 4-10% polarization consistent with binary black hole observations.
GRMHD models show PA1 aligns with the approaching limb for high spins, enabling mild disfavoring of low spins and strong disfavoring of Earth-pointing spins in M87* from EHT data, with similar potential for Sgr A*.
