GRMHD accretion onto an extremely recoiled BBH merger remnant

Merging binary black holes in gaseous environments are promising sources of multi-messenger transients. When a gravitational radiation recoil (kick) is imparted to the merger remnant, subsequent interactions between the recoiled black hole and its circumbinary disk may lead to unique post-merger electromagnetic counterparts. In this talk, I will present GRMHD simulations of an extremely recoiled black hole interacting with a magnetically arrested circumbinary disk, and show how the kick geometry affects jet and accretion behavior. Along with discussing the limitations of this work, I will also briefly introduce an ongoing work on the gas dynamics of recoiled disks.
