- W2608925927 abstract "Current simulations of hot accretion flows around black holes assume either a single-temperature gas or, at best, a two-temperature gas with thermal ions and electrons. However, processes like magnetic reconnection and shocks can accelerate electrons into a non-thermal distribution, which will not quickly thermalize at the very low densities found in many systems. Such non-thermal electrons have been invoked to explain the infrared and X-ray spectra and strong variability of Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the black hole at the Galactic Center. We present a method for self-consistent evolution of a non-thermal electron population in the general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic code koral. The electron distribution is tracked across Lorentz factor space and is evolved in space and time, in parallel with thermal electrons, thermal ions and radiation. In this study, for simplicity, energy injection into the non-thermal distribution is taken as a fixed fraction of the local electron viscous heating rate. Numerical results are presented for a model with a low mass accretion rate similar to that of Sgr A*. We find that the presence of a non-thermal population of electrons has negligible effect on the overall dynamics of the system. Due to our simple uniform particle injection prescription, the radiative power in the non-thermal simulation is enhanced at large radii. The energy distribution of the non-thermal electrons shows a synchrotron cooling break, with the break Lorentz factor varying with location and time, reflecting the complex interplay between the local viscous heating rate, magnetic field strength and fluid velocity." @default.
