The Consistency of Fermi-LAT Observations of the Galactic Center with a Millisecond Pulsar Population in the Central Stellar Cluster
Kevork N. Abazajian
I show that the spectrum and morphology of a recent Fermi-LAT observation of the Galaxy center are consistent with a millisecond pulsar population in the nuclear Central stellar cl…
Multi-state observations of the Galactic Black Hole XTE J1752-223: Evidence for an intermediate black hole spin
R. C. Reis, J. M. Miller, A. C. Fabian +6
The Galactic Black hole candidate XTE J1752-223 was observed during the decay of its 2009 outburst with the Suzaku and XMM-Newton observatories. The observed spectra are consistent…
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…
A General Formula for Black Hole Gravitational Wave Kicks
James R. van Meter, M. Coleman Miller, John G. Baker +2
Although the gravitational wave kick velocity in the orbital plane of coalescing black holes has been understood for some time, apparently conflicting formulae have been proposed f…
Super-Eddington fluxes during thermonuclear X-ray bursts
Stratos Boutloukos, M. Coleman Miller, Frederick K. Lamb
It has been known for nearly three decades that the energy spectra of thermonuclear X-ray bursts are often well-fit by Planck functions with temperatures so high that they imply a…
Connections Between Local and Global Turbulence in Accretion Disks
Kareem A. Sorathia, Christopher S. Reynolds, Philip J. Armitage
We analyze a suite of global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) accretion disk simulations in order to determine whether scaling laws for turbulence driven by the magnetorotational instabil…
