MAD Loops

As part of my Master's thesis, I studied the polarisation signature of the flaring events of Sgr A*. This video shows that in the MAD model, with the hot disk, the eruption of magnetic flux generates loops in the QU plane.

G2 Catastrophe

This simulation is part of my bachelor thesis where I take a look into one of the peculiar objects orbiting around the galactic center, namely G2, and investigates its properties while orbiting through its pericentric passage around Sgr A*.  This did not happen in reality.
