The Surprising Absence of Absorption in the Far-Ultraviolet Spectrum of Mrk 231
S. Veilleux, M. Trippe, F. Hamann +11
Mrk 231, the nearest (z = 0.0422) quasar, hosts both a galactic-scale wind and a nuclear-scale iron low-ionization broad absorption line (FeLoBAL) outflow. We recently obtained a f…
GRB060218 as a Tidal Disruption of a White Dwarf by an Intermediate Mass Black Hole
Roman V. Shcherbakov, Asaf Pe'er, Christopher S. Reynolds +3
A highly unusual pair of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) GRB060218 and an associated supernova SN2006aj has puzzled theorists for years. A supernova shock breakout and a jet from a newborn…
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…
An HST/WFC3-UVIS View of the Starburst in the Cool Core of the Phoenix Cluster
Michael McDonald, Bradford Benson, Sylvain Veilleux +2
We present Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 observations of the core of the Phoenix Cluster SPT-CLJ2344-4243 in five broadband filters spanning rest-frame 1000--5500A. Th…
Sowing the seeds of massive black holes in small galaxies: Young clusters as the building blocks of Ultra-Compact-Dwarf Galaxies
Pau Amaro-Seoane, Symeon Konstantinidis, Marc Dewi Freitag +2
Interacting galaxies often have complexes of hundreds of young stellar clusters of individual masses in regions that are a few hundred parsecs across. These…
First Law of Mechanics for Black Hole Binaries with Spins
Luc Blanchet, Alessandra Buonanno, Alexandre Le Tiec
We use the canonical Hamiltonian formalism to generalize to spinning point particles the first law of mechanics established for binary systems of non-spinning point masses moving o…
