Magnetized accretion onto rapidly spinning binary black holes: mini-disk thermodynamics, magnetic transport, and dual jets

Luciano Combi, Manuela Campanelli, Sean M. Ressler +2

Supermassive binary black holes embedded in gas-rich environments are promising multi-messenger sources for pulsar timing arrays and future space-borne gravitational-wave interfero…

Relativistic jets from millisecond proto-magnetars

Dhruv K. Desai, Luciano Combi, Daniel M. Siegel +1

Rapidly rotating, strongly magnetized neutron stars (``millisecond proto-magnetars'') formed in stellar core-collapse, neutron star mergers, and white dwarf accretion-induced colla…

Eccentric Binaries Accreting from Thin Disks: Orbital Evolution

Alexander J. Dittmann, Geoffrey Ryan, Luciano Combi

Circumbinary disks crucially affect the orbital and electromagnetic properties of binary systems across the universe, from stars in our galactic neighborhood to supermassive black…

Jet-driven explosion of an accretion-induced white-dwarf collapse via a magnetorotational dynamo

Luciano Combi, Daniel M. Siegel, Brian D. Metzger

The accretion-induced collapse (AIC) of a rotating white dwarf (WD) offers a potential site of millisecond pulsars/magnetars, gamma-ray bursts, and r-process nucleosynthesis. We pr…

Black Hole Collisions With Thin Accretion Disks: OJ 287 and Small-Mass-Ratio Supermassive Black Hole Binary Candidates

Sean M. Ressler, Luciano Combi, Bart Ripperda +1

OJ 287 is the best-known supermassive black hole binary candidate in the nanohertz gravitational wave band. It exhibits periodic flares every 12 years, likely caused by coll…

Magnetized Accretion onto Neutron Stars: from Photon-trapped to Neutrino-cooled Flows

Luciano Combi, Christopher Thompson, Daniel M. Siegel +2

When a neutron star (NS) intercepts gas from a non-degenerate star, e.g., in a tidal disruption event, a common-envelope phase, or the collapsing core of a massive star, photons be…
