    relativity, grmonty Geodesic equation Radiative transfer dλ which defines λ, the affine parameter, the geodesic equ dkα dλ = −Γα µν kµkν, and the definition of the connection coefficients Γα µν = 1 2 gαγ (gγ µ,ν + gγ ν,µ − gµν,γ ) in a coordinate basis. We assume nothing about the metric, so it is easy t coordinate systems and even to extend the code to dy spacetimes. Nevertheless, our main application—to bl accretion flows—is in the Kerr metric, where geod adaptive Runge–Kutta Cash–Karp integrator in GSL ∼34,500 geodesics s−1 with fractional error ∼10−3 4. ABSORPTION grmonty treats absorption deterministically. We the radiative transfer equation written in the covaria 1 C d dλ Iν ν3 = jν ν2 − (ναν,a ) Iν ν3 . (see Mihalas & Mihalas 1984). Here Iν is specific in αν,a is the absorption coefficient (which is always e the fluid frame). The absorption coefficient must be by a separate subroutine; for thermal synchrotron e set αν,a = jν/Bν . C is a constant that depends on the (in grmonty, electron rest mass), ν (Hz), and the le for the simulation in cgs units.
