Description
Relativistic jets are among the most powerful phenomena in the Universe. They are launched from rotating supermassive black holes and propagate collimated over thousands of light years while accelerating particles to the highest energies. In order to shield light on the formation, propagation and emission processes of relativistic jets we perform general and special relativistic magneto-hydrodynamical (G[S]RMHD) simulations taking into account radiation microphysics as well as emission processes across the electromagnetic spectrum. In the talk we will provide current updates on the numerical methods and their applications to observations.
