Image Details
Caption: Figure 31.
Example average images from some of the GRMHD movies selected for synthetic data generation; each movie has been light-curve-normalized prior to averaging. The data set indices are labeled in the upper left corner of each panel, and the corresponding GRMHD parameters are listed in Table 7. All of the images share a common brightness color scale; the absolute brightness scale is arbitrary because each image has been normalized to have unit total flux density, and a modest amount of saturation has been permitted in the brightest regions to enhance the visibility of low-brightness features. We note that these average images tend to have much smoother structure than the individual frames of the movies that were averaged to produce them (see, e.g., Figure 26 for several example frames from one movie); the synthetic data sets themselves are produced from the movies and not from the average images.
