Non-dissipative tidal synchronization in accreting binary white dwarf systems
Etienne Racine, E. Sterl Phinney, Phil Arras
We study a non-dissipative hydrodynamical mechanism that can stabilize the spin of the accretor in an ultra-compact double white dwarf binary. This novel synchronization mechanism…
Discovery of a Radio Source following the 27 December 2004 Giant Flare from SGR 1806-20
P. B. Cameron, P. Chandra, A. Ray +11
Over a decade ago it was established that the remarkable high energy transients, known as soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs), are a Galactic population and originate from neutron star…
The Afterglow of Massive Black Hole Coalescence
Milos Milosavljevic, E. S. Phinney
The final merger of a pair of massive black holes in a galactic nucleus is compelled by gravitational radiation. Gravitational waves from the mergers of black holes of masses (10^5…
Gravitational Wave and X-ray Signals from Stellar Disruption by a Massive Black Hole
Shiho Kobayashi, Pablo Laguna, E. Sterl Phinney +1
Gravitational waves and X-ray flares are expected from tidal disruption of stars by a massive black hole. Using a relativistic smoothed particle hydrodynamics code, we investigate…
The Gravitational Wave Background from Cosmological Compact Binaries
Alison J. Farmer, E. S. Phinney
We use a population synthesis approach to characterise, as a function of cosmic time, the extragalactic close binary population descended from stars of low to intermediate initial…
A Practical Theorem on Gravitational Wave Backgrounds
E. S. Phinney
There is an extremely simple relationship between the spectrum of the gravitational wave background produced by a cosmological distribution of discrete gravitational wave sources,…
