Impact of non-thermal particles on the spectral and structural properties of M87

The M87 jet, the multiwavelength protoype of active galactic nucleus outflows, was modeled in full general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics including wind and disk contributions. Spectral energy distributions were computed with approximate distribution functions for the charged particles. The images for a wide range of model parameters of a Kerr central engine are shown.
