Caption: Figure 10.

Energy per unit mass (Γ, Equation (22)) snapshot on large scales for runs NS and HS at time t = 110,700 rg/c. When a = 0.9375, the BZ jets clear out polar funnels and drive highly relativistic (Γ ≳ 2–10) outflows. When a = 0, the outflows are mildly relativistic (Γ ≈ 10−2–10−1) and do not clear out a funnel. (a) Γ in x − z plane for HS. We show the axisymmetrized effective (τeff = 1, Equation (23), white solid lines) and scattering (τes = 1, Equation (25), white dotted lines) photospheres. We also show a 200 rg × 200 rg inset panel of the effective photosphere reaching down to the BH. (b) Same as panel (a), but for NS.
