General relativistic radiative transfer calculations are essential for comparing theoretical models of black hole accretion flows and jets with observational data. In this work, we introduce Coport, a novel public code specifically designed for covariant polarized ray-tracing radiative transfer computations in any spacetime. Written in Julia, Coport includes an interface for visualizing numerical results obtained from HARM, a publicly available implementation of the general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics code. We validate the precision of our code by comparing its outputs with the results from a variety of established methodologies. This includes the verification against analytical solutions, the validation through thin-disk assessments, and the evaluation via thick-disk analyses. Notably, our code employs a methodology that eliminates the need for separating the computations of spacetime propagation and plasma propagation. Instead, it directly solves the coupled, covariant, polarized radiative transfer equation in curved spacetime, seamlessly integrating the effects of gravity with plasma influences. This approach sets our code apart from the existing alternatives and enhances its accuracy and efficiency.

  1. Construction of an analytic multi-component accretion environment and its application to Kerr black hole imaging

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A fully analytic accretion model combining a thick disk, Gaussian ring bumps, and localized Gaussian spots is applied to Kerr ray tracing, generating images with multiple bright spots and arcs.

  2. Shadows and accretion disk images of charged rotating black hole in modified gravity theory

    gr-qc 2024-11 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Ray-traced images of the Kerr-Newman-MOG black hole show that the MOG parameter α enlarges and rounds the shadow, and its effect beats that of the electric charge Q.
