Scientific paper

Using flow models based on axisymmetric general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) simulations, we construct radiative models for Sgr A*. Spectral energy distributions that include the effects of thermal synchrotron emission and absorption, and Compton scattering, are calculated using a Monte Carlo scheme for Relativistic Radiative Transport. The key model parameters are the dimensionless black hole spin a, the inclination i, and the ion-to-electron temperature ratio. The main goal of this work is to explore how model parameters are constrained by the broadband observational data (submm - X-rays).
