The radio source Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) is believed to be a hot, inhomogeneous, magnetized plasma flowing near the event horizon of the 3 million solar mass black hole at the galactic center. At a distance of 8000 parsecs the black hole would be among the largest black holes as judged by angular size. Recent observations are consistent with the idea that the millimeter and sub-millimeter photons are dominated by optically thin, thermal synchrotron emission. Anticipating future Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations of Sgr A* at these wavelengths, we present here the first dynamically self-consistent models of millimeter and sub-millimeter emission from Sgr A* based on general relativistic numerical simulations of the accretion flow. Angle-dependent spectra are calculated assuming a thermal distribution of electrons at the baryonic temperature dictated by the simulation and the accretion rate, which acts as a free parameter in our model. The effects of varying model parameters (black hole spin and inclination of the spin to the line of sight) and source variability on the spectrum are shown. We find that the accretion rate value needed to match our calculated millimeter flux to the observed flux is consistent with constraints on the accretion rate inferred from detections of the rotation measure. We also describe the relativistic jet that is launched along the black hole spin axis by the accretion disk and evolves to scales of 1000 gravitational radii.

The glow of eternal black holes
An eternal Schwarzschild black hole with an emitting surface at r=r_m would show a bright spot inside its shadow, whose interferometric visibility decays exponentially with baseline length.

Signatures of Lorentz violation in bright ring for Sgr A* images by radiation ineffective accretion flows
For a rotating Lorentz-violating black hole, increasing the LV parameter shrinks and broadens Sgr A*'s image ring, and EHT data bound the parameter over a spin-dependent range.

GRMHD and GRRT Simulations of Black Hole Accretion: Flares, Precession, and Complex Spacetimes
Simulations of accreting black holes in standard and complex spacetimes indicate that magnetic geometry, quantum corrections, and binary dynamics influence flares, precession, photon rings, and multi-wavelength variab...

Bright ring features and polarization structures in Kerr-Sen black hole images illuminated by radiatively inefficient accretion flows
GRRT simulations show that raising the dilaton parameter shrinks the bright ring while increasing its width and brightness, disk thickness reduces diameter and width with weaker brightness impact, and both affect allo...

Images of Braneworld black holes with radiatively inefficient accretion flows
GRRT simulations of CFM braneworld black holes show nonmonotonic tidal-parameter effects on image morphology with normalized mismatches of order 10^3, indicating identification remains difficult even with ngEHT and BHEX.
