Unlocking the QPE Mystery: Star-Disk Collisions in Realistic AGN Disks
Zhaohuan Zhu, Xiaoshan Huang, Yan-Fei Jiang +1
Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are luminous, recurring soft X-ray outbursts observed in the nuclei of low-mass galaxies. They display two remarkable trends: outburst durations are…
2D hydrodynamical simulations of Be star decretion disc formation through boundary layer effects
Madeline Overton, Zhaohuan Zhu, Rebecca G. Martin +1
Be stars are massive main-sequence stars rotating close to their breakup rate. They possess a decretion disc of material built up due to mass loss from the star, however, there is…
Resolving Oblique Star-Disk Collisions in Quasi-Periodic Eruptions: Numerical Requirements and the Importance of Geometry
Shunquan Huang, Xiaoshan Huang, Zhaohuan Zhu +1
Star-disk collisions have been proposed as a promising mechanism for producing quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) in galactic nuclei. Because the stellar atmospheric scale height is o…
