tracing in curved spacetimes Geodesic equation Radiative transfer 3. GEODESIC INTEGRATION General relativistic radiative transfer differs from conven- ional radiative transfer in Minkowski space in that photon tra- ectories are no longer trivial; photons move along geodesics. Tracking geodesics is a significant computational expense in grmonty. The governing equations for a photon trajectory are dxα dλ = kα (11) which defines λ, the affine parameter, the geodesic equation dkα dλ = −Γα µν kµkν, (12) and the definition of the connection coefficients With ε = 0.04, grmonty integrates ∼16,700 geodesics s−1 on a single core of an Intel Xeon model E5430. If we use fourth- order Runge–Kutta exclusively so that the error in E, l, and Q is ∼1000 times smaller, then the speed is ∼ 6200 geodesics s−1. If we use the Runge–Kutta Prince–Dorman method in GSL with ε = 0.04 the fraction error is ∼ 10−10 and the speed is ∼1700 geodesics s−1. These results can be compared to the publicly available integral-based geokerr code of Dexter & Agol (2009), whose geodesics are shown as the (more accurate) solid lines in Figure 1. If we use geokerr to sample each geodesic the same number of times as grmonty (∼180), then on the same machine geokerr runs at ∼1000 geodesics s−1. It is possible that other implementations of an integral-of-motion- based geodesic tracker could be faster. If only the initial and final states of the photon are required, we find that geokerr computes ∼77,000 geodesics s−1. The adaptive Runge–Kutta Cash–Karp integrator in GSL computes ∼34,500 geodesics s−1 with fractional error ∼10−3. 4. ABSORPTION grmonty treats absorption deterministically. We begin with the radiative transfer equation written in the covariant form 1 C d dλ Iν ν3 = jν ν2 − (ναν,a ) Iν ν3 . (15) (see Mihalas & Mihalas 1984).
