Description
Images of highly idealized Bardeen-Petterson accretion disks around Kerr black holes and their generated energy spectra line profiles are created via computer simulations in this work. The line profiles are examined in the relation to the original disk parameters to demonstrate that Bardeen-Petterson disks can be the source of the spectra we observe, even of actual systems. The challenges in computer programming the simulations and methods to overcome the challenges are discussed in the paper. Also discussed are the future work, improvements and intentions for the simulations. Finally, the discussion turns to the usage of indicators in these line profiles to predict parameters of the original disk systems.
