H-AMR FORGE'd in FIRE I: Magnetic state transitions, jet launching and radiative emission in super-Eddington, highly magnetized quasar disks formed from cosmological initial conditions
Nicholas Kaaz, Matthew Liska, Alexander Tchekhovskoy +2
Quasars are powered by supermassive black hole (SMBH) accretion disks, yet standard disk models are inconsistent with many quasar observations. Recently, Hopkins et al. (2024) simu…

Extreme scale height variations and nozzle shocks in warped disks
Nicholas Kaaz, Yoram Lithwick, Matthew Liska +1
Accretion disks around both stellar-mass and supermassive black holes are likely often warped. Whenever a disk is warped, its scale height varies with azimuth. Sufficiently strong…
