Disappearance of a massive star in the Andromeda Galaxy due to formation of a black hole
Kishalay De, Morgan MacLeod, Jacob E. Jencson +11
When a massive star reaches the end of its lifetime, its core collapses and releases neutrinos that drive a shock into the outer layers (stellar envelope). A sufficiently strong sh…
Signatures of Black Hole Spin and Plasma Acceleration in Jet Polarimetry
Zachary Gelles, Andrew Chael, Eliot Quataert
We study the polarization of black hole jets on scales of and show that large spatial swings in the polarization occur at three characteristic distances from the…
Strongly magnetized accretion with low angular momentum produces a weak jet
Alisa Galishnikova, Alexander Philippov, Eliot Quataert +2
We study the spherical accretion of magnetized plasma with low angular momentum onto a supermassive black hole, utilizing global general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulation…
Star-Disk Collisions: Implications for Quasi-periodic Eruptions and Other Transients Near Supermassive Black Holes
Philippe Z. Yao, Eliot Quataert, Yan-Fei Jiang +2
We use Athena++ to study the hydrodynamics of repeated star-accretion disk collisions close to supermassive black holes, and discuss their implications for the origin of quasi-peri…
The Black Hole Explorer: Motivation and Vision
Michael D. Johnson, Kazunori Akiyama, Rebecca Baturin +65
We present the Black Hole Explorer (BHEX), a mission that will produce the sharpest images in the history of astronomy by extending submillimeter Very-Long-Baseline Interferometry…
Photon Ring Interferometric Signatures Beyond The Universal Regime
He Jia, Eliot Quataert, Alexandru Lupsasca +1
We calculate the interferometric signatures of black hole photon rings beyond the universal regime by perturbatively including the effects of finite ring width. Our approach first…
