15 Tilted Disk Physics Thick disks precess due to general relativistic frame dragging by BH spin precessing tilted disk sims could not handle jets (Fragile et al. 2005, 2007) Do tilted disks produce jets at all? Do jets precess or point along BH spin? (McKinney, AT+2013) ~a BH inflow

Do jets precess or point along BH spin? (McKinney, AT+2013) Thin disks can align due to Bardeen-Petterson (1975) effect Seen only in pseudo- Newtonian simulations and at small inclinations (Hawley and Krolik 2015) At larger inclinations disks predicted to break (Nixon et al. 2012) Do thin disks align in GR? Or do they break? Challenge: enormous dynamical range. Need to resolve thin streams over long run times. How?! ~a BH ~a BH inflow
