Direct Calculation of the Radiative Efficiency of an Accretion Disk Around a Black Hole
by Noble, Krolik, and Hawley (2009)
Paper Link
Movies associated with our simulation of a cooled thin disk (aspect ratio, H/R, of 0.1) around a black hole of spin a=0.9M.

Bolometric Luminosity Ray-Traced from Point of View at Inclination = 5 deg.

Bolometric Luminosity Ray-Traced from Point of View at Inclination = 41 deg.

Bolometric Luminosity Ray-Traced from Point of View at Inclination = 65 deg.

Bolometric Luminosity Ray-Traced from Point of View at Inclination = 89 deg.

Dependence of Inner Accretion Disk Stress on Parameters: The Schwarzschild Case
by Noble, Krolik, and Hawley (2010)
Paper Link
Movies associated with our simulation of disks at different thicknesses around a non-spinning black hole.

Edge-on view of the log10 of the phi-average of the density of the disk of medium thickness (H/R=0.1). Sample magnetic field lines are shown in white.

Edge-on view of the log10 of the density of the thinnest disk (H/R=0.06) sliced at phi=0deg. Black lines indicate one and two scaleheights above the equator.
