From Thin to Thick: The Impact of X-ray Irradiation on Accretion Disks in AGN
P. Chang, E. Quataert, N. Murray
We argue that the X-ray and UV flux illuminating the parsec-scale accretion disk around luminous active galactic nuclei (AGN) is super-Eddington with respect to the local far-infra…
The Ionization State of Sodium in Galactic Winds
Norman Murray, Crystal L. Martin, Eliot Quataert +1
Roughly 80% of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs) show blue shifted absorption in the resonance lines of neutral sodium, indicating that cool winds are common in such objects…
Giant Planet Accretion and Migration: Surviving the Type I Regime
Edward W. Thommes, Norman Murray
In the standard model of gas giant planet formation, a large solid core (~ 10 times the Earth's mass) forms first, then accretes its massive envelope (100 or more Earth masses) of…
Magnetic Fields in Starburst Galaxies and The Origin of the FIR-Radio Correlation
Todd A. Thompson, Eliot Quataert, Eli Waxman +2
We estimate minimum energy magnetic fields (B_min) for a sample of galaxies with measured gas surface densities, spanning from normal spirals to starbursts. We show that the ratio…
