The X-ray radiation of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) originates from the innermost region of the accretion flow, in the close vicinity of the super-massive black hole (SMBH). The X-ray emission is thus subject to the strong gravitational field of the black hole, making them ideal probes of the strong gravitational field. To precisely model the X-ray emission of AGNs, we developed Monk, a general relativistic monte-carlo radiative transfer code (Zhang et al. 2019). In this talk, I'll briefly describe how Monk works, and then introduce a few applications of Monk. |

Dr. Wenda Zhang obtained his PhD in 2015 from Shanghai Astronomical Observatory under the supervision of Prof. Wenfei Yu. After that, he worked as a postdoc in the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics, Germany from 2015 to 2017 and in the Astronomical Institute of Czech Academy of Sciences from 2017 to 2020. Starting from late 2020 he works in the National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences. |
