Hot Circumsingle Disks Drive Binary Black Hole Mergers in Active Galactic Nucleus Disks
Ya-Ping Li, Adam M. Dempsey, Hui Li +2
Binary black hole (BBH) mergers, particularly those with component masses in the pair-instability gap, may be produced by hierarchical mergers in the disks surrounding Active Galac…

Ring Formation in Protoplanetary Disks Driven by an Eccentric Instability
Jiaru Li, Adam M. Dempsey, Hui Li +1
We find that, under certain conditions, protoplanetary disks may spontaneously generate multiple, concentric gas rings without an embedded planet through an eccentric cooling insta…

Orbital evolution of binary black holes in active galactic nucleus disks: a disk channel for binary black hole mergers?
Ya-Ping Li, Adam M. Dempsey, Shengtai Li +2
We perform a series of high-resolution 2D hydrodynamical simulations of equal-mass binary black holes (BBHs) embedded in active galactic nucleus (AGN) accretion disks to study whet…
