Invited Presentation
Modeling radio and high energy emission from jets produced by supermassive black holes.
Presenter: Monika Moscibrodzka (Department of Astrophysics, Radboud University, 6500 GL Nijmegen, The Netherlands)
The connection between black hole, accretion disk, and radio jet can be best constrained by fitting models to observations of nearby low luminosity galactic nuclei, in particular the well studied sources Sgr~A* and M87. There
has been considerable progress in modeling the central engine of active galactic nuclei by an accreting supermassive black hole coupled to a relativistic plasma jet. In my talk, I will highlight the newest developments
of our 3D general relativistic magnetohydrodynamical simulations and general relativistic radiative transfer models that allow to model jets from supermassive black holes from nearly first principles. I will focus on
discussing jet mass entrainment, particle acceleration, and connection between radio and high energy emission in relativistic jets. Our theoretical models can be constrained with simultaneous millimeter-VLBI and TeV
observations of supermassive black holes in M87 and in our own Galaxy. This study is a step towards understanding the mechanisms for high energy photon productions in Active Galactic Nuclei.
