The Neutrino Bubble Instability: A Mechanism for Generating Pulsar Kicks
Aristotle Socrates, Omer Blaes, Aimee Hungerford +1
An explanation for the large random velocities of pulsars is presented. Like many other models, we propose that the momentum imparted to the star is given at birth. The ultimate so…
Quasars and the Big Blue Bump
Zhaohui Shang, Michael S. Brotherton, Richard F. Green +10
We investigate the ultraviolet-to-optical spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of 17 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) using quasi-simultaneous spectrophotometry spanning 900-9000 Angs…
Relativistic Accretion Disk Models of High State Black Hole X-ray Binary Spectra
Shane W. Davis, Omer M. Blaes, Ivan Hubeny +1
We present calculations of non-LTE, relativistic accretion disk models applicable to the high/soft state of black hole X-ray binaries. We include the effects of thermal Comptonizat…
Photon Bubbles in Young Massive Stars
N. J. Turner, H. W. Yorke, A. Socrates +1
Spectroscopic studies indicate that gas in the photospheres of young O stars moves at speeds up to the sound speed. We show, using two-dimensional radiation MHD calculations and re…
