The effect of coronal radiation on a residual inner disk in the low/hard spectral state of black hole X-ray binary systems
B. F. Liu, C. Done, Ronald E. Taam
Thermal conduction between a cool accretion disk and a hot inner corona can result in either evaporation of the disk or condensation of the hot corona. At low mass accretion rates,…
The role of flow geometry in influencing the stability criteria for low angular momentum axisymmetric black hole accretion
S. Nag, S. Acharya, A. K. Ray +1
Using mathematical formalism borrowed from dynamical systems theory, a complete analytical investigation of the critical behaviour of the stationary flow configuration for the low…
On the Transition from Accretion Powered to Rotation Powered Millisecond Pulsars
J. Takata, K. S. Cheng, R. E. Taam
The heating associated with the deposition of -rays in an accretion disk is proposed as a mechanism to facilitate the transformation of a low mass X-ray binary to the radio mill…
General relativistic polarized radiative transfer: building a dynamics-observations interface
Roman V. Shcherbakov, Lei Huang
The rising amount of polarized observations of relativistic sources requires the correct theory for proper model fitting. The equations for general relativistic (GR) polarized radi…
Impact of Type Ia Supernova Ejecta on a Helium-star Binary Companion
Kuo-Chuan Pan, Paul M. Ricker, Ronald E. Taam
The impact of Type Ia supernova ejecta on a helium-star companion is investigated via high-resolution, two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations. For a range of helium-star models a…
Dynamical Formation of Millisecond Pulsars in Globular Clusters
C. Y. Hui, K. S. Cheng, Ronald E. Taam
The cumulative luminosity distribution functions (CLFs) of radio millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in globular clusters (GCs) and in the Galactic field at a frequency of 1.4 GHz have been…
