Shock heating of the merging galaxy cluster A521
H. Bourdin, P. Mazzotta, M. Markevitch +2
A521 is an interacting galaxy cluster located at z=0.247, hosting a low frequency radio halo connected to an eastern radio relic. Previous Chandra observations hinted at the presen…
Alignment of Magnetized Accretion Disks and Relativistic Jets with Spinning Black Holes
Jonathan C. McKinney, Alexander Tchekhovskoy, Roger D. Blandford
Accreting black holes (BHs) produce intense radiation and powerful relativistic jets, which are affected by the BH's spin magnitude and direction. While thin disks might align with…
The Effect of Massive Perturbers on Extreme Mass-Ratio Inspiral Waveforms
Nicolas Yunes, M. Coleman Miller, Jonathan Thornburg
Extreme mass ratio inspirals, in which a stellar-mass object merges with a supermassive black hole, are prime sources for space-based gravitational wave detectors because they will…
Extreme Mass-Ratio Inspirals in the Effective-One-Body Approach: Quasi-Circular, Equatorial Orbits around a Spinning Black Hole
Nicolas Yunes, Alessandra Buonanno, Scott A. Hughes +4
We construct effective-one-body waveform models suitable for data analysis with LISA for extreme-mass ratio inspirals in quasi-circular, equatorial orbits about a spinning supermas…
Mode coupling of Schwarzschild perturbations: Ringdown frequencies
Enrique Pazos, David Brizuela, Jose M. Martin-Garcia +1
Within linearized perturbation theory, black holes decay to their final stationary state through the well-known spectrum of quasinormal modes. Here we numerically study whether non…
Radiative and dynamic stability of a dilute plasma
Steven A. Balbus, Christopher S. Reynolds
We analyze the linear stability of a dilute, hot plasma, taking into account the effects of stratification and anisotropic thermal conduction. The work is motivated by attempts to…
