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…
