Arkenstone-jet

A BH jet model using the Arkenstone-hot technique

This project is exploring the use of the Arkenstone-hot framework (Smith et al., 2024) to model the high-specific energy outflows in BH-generated jets. The BH jet implementation is described in (Sullivan et al., 2026), building on cosmological results from the stellar wind model (Bennett et al., 2025).
