Effects of Physical Cooling on the Structure of Circumbinary Disks
Minjae V. Kim, Julian H. Krolik, Scott C. Noble
Radiation pressure and radiative cooling often play an important role in deciding the structure and dynamics of astrophysical objects. In this paper, we present a radiative MHD sim…
Thermal and non-thermal emission from supermassive black hole circumbinary disks: Disks, Coronae, Streams, and Cavities
Chris Nagele, Julian H. Krolik, Brooks E. Kinch +4
The search for electromagnetic signals from supermassive black hole (SMBH) binary systems is one of the cornerstones of multi-messenger astrophysics, complementing gravitational wa…
The Origin of the Magnetic Flux Driving TDE Jets
Nimrod Tripto, Julian Krolik, Tsvi Piran
Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) occur when a star approaches a black hole closely enough to be torn apart by tidal forces, after which the stellar debris begins to orbit the black h…
Simulation-Based Prediction of Black Hole Fe K Line Profiles
Chris Nagele, Julian H. Krolik, Brooks E. Kinch +1
One of the most useful spectral diagnostics of accreting black hole systems is the Fe K fluorescence line. Detected in many systems, it is often used to estimate the black hole…
Unexpectedly Weak General Relativistic Effects in Strongly Relativistic Tidal Disruption Events
Ho-Sang Chan, Taeho Ryu, Julian Krolik +1
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when stars are destroyed by supermassive black holes and are among the brightest nuclear transients. It has been thought that strong relativist…
The TDE Population from First-Principles Models of Stellar Disruption and Debris Dynamics
Tsvi Piran, Julian Krolik, Taeho Ryu
We present a physically-grounded population model for optical tidal disruption events (TDEs) that combines first-principles hydrodynamic simulations of stellar disruption with stat…
