Top: schematic plots of warped disk and continuous jet or ejecta in GRS 1915+105 generated with Nano Banana Pro. The long-standing jet axis is represented by the left of the second panel, the warped disk producing ejecta at a different direction is in the middle, and the inner disk aligned to BH spin producing the continuous jet is on the right. As the inner disk is aligned quickly, both the early-launched discrete ejecta and the continuous jet could be seen in the same image. Bottom: the snapshots for the disk around the BH (centered at the origin) perturbed by a flyby object in a parabolic orbit. Three panels show the density contour at the x − y, y − z, and x − y plane right after the object passes pericenter.
