Radiative transfer in black hole systems
Kinwah Wu, Warrick Ball, Steven V. Fuerst
We present a convariant formulation for radiative transfer in curved space time and demonstrate some applications in the black-hole systems. We calculate the emission from semi-tra…
Structures, oscillations and solitons in large-scale multi-component self-gravitating systems
Kinwah Wu, Ziri Younsi, Curtis J. Saxton
We investigate the structure of dynamics of large self-gravitating astrophysical systems using a self-interacting two-component model. We consider two cases, galaxy clusters and co…
A Magnetohydrodynamic Model for the Formation of Episodic Jets
Feng Yuan, Jun Lin, Kinwah Wu +1
Episodic ejection of plasma blobs have been observed in many black hole systems. While steady, continuous jets are believed to be associated with large-scale open magnetic fields,…
Periodicities in the high-mass X-ray binary system RX J0146.9+6121/LS I+61 235
Gordon E. Sarty, Laszlo L. Kiss, Richard Huziak +10
The high-mass X-ray binary RX J0146.9+6121, with optical counterpart LS I+61 235 (V831 Cas), is an intriguing system on the outskirts of the open cluster NGC 663. It contains the s…
The effect of two-temperature post-shock accretion flow on the linear polarization pulse in magnetic cataclysmic variables
Gordon E. Sarty, Curtis J. Saxton, Kinwah Wu
The temperatures of electrons and ions in the post-shock accretion region of a magnetic cataclysmic variable (mCV) will be equal at sufficiently high mass flow rates or for suffici…
Characteristic temperatures and spectral appearance of ULX disks
Roberto Soria, Kinwah Wu, Zdenka Kuncic
A standard disk around an accreting black hole may become effectively optically-thin and scattering dominated in the inner region, for high accretion rates (as already predicted by…
