Tidal disruption of a magnetized star
Pavel Abolmasov, Omer Bromberg, Amir Levinson +1
Tidal disruptions of stars by supermassive black holes in galactic centers (TDEs) are now being actively studied both theoretically and observationally. They are observed throughou…
Rotational evolution of deformed magnetized neutron stars: implications for obliquity distribution and braking indices statistics
Anton Biryukov, Pavel Abolmasov, Amir Levinson
The rotational evolution of a strongly magnetized neutron star (NS), accreting or isolated, is driven by external torques of different nature. In addition to the torques, even the…
Monte Carlo simulations of relativistic shock breakout from a stellar wind
Hirotaka Ito, Amir Levinson, Ehud Nakar +1
We present Monte Carlo simulations of relativistic radiation-mediated shocks (RRMS) in the photon-starved regime, incorporating photon escape from the upstream region--characterize…
In LIGO's Sight? Vigorous Coherent Gravitational Waves from Cooled Collapsar Disks
Ore Gottlieb, Amir Levinson, Yuri Levin
We present the first numerical study of gravitational waves (GWs) from collapsar disks, using state-of-the-art 3D general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of collapsing…
Constraints on the accretion properties of quasi-periodic erupters from GRMHD simulations
Anna Chashkina, Omer Bromberg, Amir Levinson +1
Context: Some apparently quiescent supermassive black holes (BHs) at centers of galaxies show quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) in the X-ray band, the nature of which is still unknow…
Relativistic Spherical Shocks in Expanding Media
Taya Govreen-Segal, Noam Youngerman, Ishika Palit +3
We investigate the propagation of spherically symmetric shocks in relativistic homologously expanding media with density distributions following a power-law profile in their Lorent…
Monte-Carlo simulations of relativistic radiation mediated shocks: II. photon starved regime
Hirotaka Ito, Amir Levinson, Shigehiro Nagataki
Radiation mediated shocks (RMS) play a key role in shaping the early emission observed in many transients. In most cases, e.g., shock breakout in supernovae, llGRBs and neutron sta…
