Hot Circumsingle Disks Drive Binary Black Hole Mergers in Active Galactic Nucleus Disks
Ya-Ping Li, Adam M. Dempsey, Hui Li +2
Binary black hole (BBH) mergers, particularly those with component masses in the pair-instability gap, may be produced by hierarchical mergers in the disks surrounding Active Galac…
Wide Dust Gaps in Protoplanetary Disks Induced by Eccentric Planets: A Mass-Eccentricity Degeneracy
Yi-Xian Chen, Zhuoxiao Wang, Ya-Ping Li +2
The tidal perturbation of embedded protoplanets on their natal disks has been widely attributed to be the cause of gap-ring structures in sub-mm images of protoplanetary disks arou…
Orbital evolution of binary black holes in active galactic nucleus disks: a disk channel for binary black hole mergers?
Ya-Ping Li, Adam M. Dempsey, Shengtai Li +2
We perform a series of high-resolution 2D hydrodynamical simulations of equal-mass binary black holes (BBHs) embedded in active galactic nucleus (AGN) accretion disks to study whet…
