Eddington envelopes: The fate of stars on parabolic orbits tidally disrupted by supermassive black holes
Daniel J. Price, David Liptai, Ilya Mandel +3
Stars falling too close to massive black holes in the centres of galaxies can be torn apart by the strong tidal forces. Simulating the subsequent feeding of the black hole with dis…
Comparing recent PTA results on the nanohertz stochastic gravitational wave background
The International Pulsar Timing Array Collaboration, G. Agazie, J. Antoniadis +242
The Australian, Chinese, European, Indian, and North American pulsar timing array (PTA) collaborations recently reported, at varying levels, evidence for the presence of a nanohert…
Search for an isotropic gravitational-wave background with the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array
Daniel J. Reardon, Andrew Zic, Ryan M. Shannon +26
Pulsar timing arrays aim to detect nanohertz-frequency gravitational waves (GWs). A background of GWs modulates pulsar arrival times and manifests as a stochastic process, common t…
Simulating cosmic string loop captured by a rotating black hole
Heling Deng, Andrei Gruzinov, Yuri Levin +1
We study the dynamics of a cosmic string loop captured by a rotating black hole, ignoring string reconnections. A loop is numerically evolved in Kerr spacetime, with the result tha…
Resonant friction on discs in galactic nuclei
Yuri Levin
We argue that resonant friction has a dramatic effect on a disc whose rotation direction is misaligned with that of its host nuclear star cluster. The disc's gravity causes gravita…
Radio Emission and Electric Gaps in Pulsar Magnetospheres
Ashley Bransgrove, Andrei M. Beloborodov, Yuri Levin
The origin of pulsar radio emission is one of the old puzzles in theoretical astrophysics. In this Letter we present a global kinetic plasma simulation which shows from first-princ…
