Radial profiles of the time-averaged feedback efficiency ﹩\overline{\eta (r)}﹩. Each panel corresponds to a single BH spin a* and colors represent different Bondi radii RB. The scale at the bottom shows the radius in units of rg, and the scale at the top shows the physical radius in parsecs for M87’s BH mass. For the largest Bondi radius, RB = 2 × 106 rg, the kinetic ﹩\overline{{\eta }_{{\rm{kinetic}}}(r)}﹩ (dashed) and thermal ﹩\overline{{\eta }_{{\rm{thermal}}}(r)}﹩ (dotted) components are also overplotted, showing the conversion of kinetic to thermal energy as the jet outflow crosses RB (vertical lines).
