SIROCCO: A Publicly Available Monte Carlo Ionization and Radiative Transfer Code for Astrophysical Outflows
James H. Matthews, Knox S. Long, Christian Knigge +8
Outflows are critical components of many astrophysical systems, including accreting compact binaries and active galactic nuclei (AGN). These outflows can significantly affect a sys…
Accretion Disc Winds in Tidal Disruption Events: Ultraviolet Spectral Lines as Orientation Indicators
Edward J. Parkinson, Christian Knigge, Knox S. Long +4
Some tidal disruption events (TDEs) exhibit blueshifted broad absorption lines (BALs) in their rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) spectra, while others display broad emission lines (BELs)…
Thermal and radiation driving can produce observable disk winds in hard-state X-ray binaries
Nick Higginbottom, Christian Knigge, Stuart A. Sim +5
X-ray signatures of outflowing gas have been detected in several accreting black-hole binaries, always in the soft state. A key question raised by these observations is whether the…
Stratified disc wind models for the AGN broad-line region: ultraviolet, optical and X-ray properties
James H. Matthews, Christian Knigge, Nick Higginbottom +5
The origin, geometry and kinematics of the broad line region (BLR) gas in quasars and active galactic nuclei (AGN) are uncertain. We demonstrate that clumpy biconical disc winds il…
Radiation-hydrodynamic simulations of thermally-driven disc winds in X-ray binaries: A direct comparison to GRO J1655-40
Nick Higginbottom, Christian Knigge, Knox S. Long +3
Essentially all low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) in the soft state appear to drive powerful equatorial disc winds. A simple mechanism for driving such outflows involves X-ray heatin…
