Evolution of gas disc-embedded intermediate mass ratio inspirals in the LISA band
A. Derdzinski, D. D'Orazio, P. Duffell +2
Among the potential milliHz gravitational wave (GW) sources for the upcoming space-based interferometer LISA are extreme- or intermediate-mass ratio inspirals (EMRI/IMRIs). These e…
Circumbinary Disks: Accretion and Torque as a Function of Mass Ratio and Disk Viscosity
Paul C. Duffell, Daniel D'Orazio, Andrea Derdzinski +4
Using numerical hydrodynamics calculations and a novel method for densely sampling parameter space, we measure the accretion and torque on a binary system from a circumbinary disk.…
Astro2020 Science White Paper: A Shocking Shift in Paradigm for Classical Novae
Laura Chomiuk, Elias Aydi, Aliya-Nur Babul +10
The discovery of GeV gamma-rays from classical novae has led to a reassessment of these garden-variety explosions, and highlighted their importance for understanding radiative shoc…
Multimessenger science opportunities with mHz gravitational waves
John Baker, Zoltán Haiman, Elena Maria Rossi +32
LISA will open the mHz band of gravitational waves (GWs) to the astronomy community. The strong gravity which powers the variety of GW sources in this band is also crucial in a num…
Probing gas disc physics with LISA: simulations of an intermediate mass ratio inspiral in an accretion disc
A. Derdzinski, D. D'Orazio, P. Duffell +2
The coalescence of a compact object with a supermassive black hole (SMBH) produces mHz gravitational waves (GWs) detectable by the future Laser Interf…
