Extreme-Mass-Ratio Inspirals in Gaseous Disks

Alexander J. Dittmann, Abhishek Hegade K. R., Callum W. Fairbairn

Gravitational waves from extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs) are precise probes of the environment of the supermassive black holes (SMBHs) they orbit. If an SMBH is actively accre…

Shadow-Induced Warps in Protoplanetary disks

Shangjia Zhang, Zhaohuan Zhu, Callum W. Fairbairn

Shadows are commonly observed in protoplanetary disks in near-infrared and (sub)millimeter images, often cast by misaligned inner disks or other obscuring material. While recent st…

Indirect forces in disc-planet interaction

Roman R. Rafikov, Nicolas P. Cimerman, Callum W. Fairbairn +1

Gravitational coupling between a protoplanetary disc and an embedded planet is often studied in a frame attached to a central star. This frame is non-inertial because of the stella…

Pushing the limits of eccentricity in planet-disc interactions

Callum W. Fairbairn, Alexander J. Dittmann

Modelling the gravitational interaction between an eccentric perturber and a differentially shearing gas disc is a longstanding problem with various astrophysical applications, ran…

The Interplay of Parametric and Magnetorotational Instabilities in Oscillatory Shear Flows

Callum W. Fairbairn, James M. Stone

The evolution of warped disks is governed by internal, oscillatory shear flows driven by their distorted geometry. However, these flows are known to be vigorously unstable to a hyd…

Linear bending wave propagation in laminar and turbulent discs

Callum W. Fairbairn

Bending waves are perhaps the most fundamental and analytically tractable phenomena in warped disc dynamics. In this work we conduct 3D grid-based, numerical experiments of bending…

Eccentric planet-disc interactions: orbital migration and eccentricity evolution

Callum W. Fairbairn, Roman R. Rafikov

Gravitational coupling between a protoplanetary disc and an embedded eccentric planet is an important, long-standing problem, which has been not yet been conclusively explored. Her…

Parametric instability in warped astrophysical discs: growth, saturation and feedback

Callum W. Fairbairn, Gordon I. Ogilvie

Attempts to understand the dynamics of warped astrophysical discs have garnered significant attention, largely motivated by the growing catalogue of observed distorted systems. Pre…

Density waves in protoplanetary discs excited by eccentric planets: linear theory

Callum W. Fairbairn, Roman R. Rafikov

Spiral density waves observed in protoplanetary discs have often been used to infer the presence of embedded planets. This inference relies both on simulations as well as the linea…

Nonlinear resonant torus oscillations as a model of Keplerian disc warp dynamics

Callum Fairbairn, Gordon Ogilvie

Observations of distorted discs have highlighted the ubiquity of warps in a variety of astrophysical contexts. This has been complemented by theoretical efforts to understand the d…

Nonlinear dynamics of hydrodynamic tori as a model of oscillations and bending waves in astrophysical discs

Callum W. Fairbairn, Gordon I. Ogilvie

Understanding oscillations and waves in astrophysical fluid bodies helps to elucidate their observed variability and the underlying physical mechanisms. Indeed, global oscillations…

Effects of Hole-Transport Layer Homogeneity in Organic Solar Cells, A Multi-Length Scale Study

Huei-Ting Chien, Markus Poelzl, Georg Koller +6

Irreproducibility is a serious issue in thin film organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices, as smallest local inhomogeneities can change the entire behaviour of identically built devices…
