Blandfor-Znajeck in binary black holes systems

ORAL

Abstract

We investigate the behavior of electromagnetic fields influenced by the dynamics of a binary black hole system. In particular, our studies are tied to understanding the interaction between magnetic fields produced at a circumbinary disk in the late stages of the supermassive black hole merger.
