Evolution of a MAD event in the equatorial plane. Top row: Logarithm of the density with overlaid contours indicating locations of particle acceleration, where $\stackrel{\sim }{ϵ}={ϵ}_{\mathrm{eff}}$. Second and third rows: Logarithm of the total emissivity, for a thermal plus kappa eDF and thermal-only eDF using the parameters listed in Table 1. Two bottom panels: Evolution of the mass accretion rate, Ṁ, and the MAD parameter, ${\varphi }_{\mathrm{BH}}/\sqrt{\dot{M}}$. The vertical blue lines indicate the temporal position of the top panels.
