Angular Momentum Transfer in QPEs from Galaxy Nuclei
Andrew King
A suggested model for quasi--periodic eruptions (QPEs) from galaxy nuclei invokes a white dwarf in an eccentric orbit about the central massive black hole. I point out that the ext…
Quasi--Periodic Eruptions from Galaxy Nuclei
Andrew King
I consider quasi--periodic eruptions (QPEs) from galaxy nuclei. All the known cases fit naturally into a picture of accretion from white dwarfs (WDs) in highly eccentric orbits abo…
AGN Light Echoes and the Accretion Disc Self-Gravity Limit
Andrew Lobban, Andrew King
Accretion disc theory predicts that an AGN disc becomes self-gravitating and breaks up into stars at an outer radius ~ 12 light-days, with effectively no free paramete…
One for the Future: measuring the mass transfer rate in the ULX M82 X-2 by using orbital period changes will take millenia
Andrew King, Jean-Pierre Lasota
Bachetti et al. (2021) have recently claimed to measure the mass transfer rate in the pulsing ULX system M82 X-2 by following the change of its orbital period over 7 yr. We reitera…
High-redshift SMBHs can grow from stellar-mass seeds via chaotic accretion
Kastytis Zubovas, Andrew R. King
Extremely massive black holes, with masses , have been observed at ever higher redshifts. These results create ever tighter constraints on the formation…
Dwarf Galaxies and the Black-Hole Scaling Relations
Andrew King, Rebecca Nealon
The sample of dwarf galaxies with measured central black hole masses and velocity dispersions has recently doubled, and gives a close fit to the extrapolation of the $M \pr…
