Iron-Line Emission as a Probe of Bardeen-Petterson Accretion Disks
P. Chris Fragile, Warner A. Miller, Eric Vandernoot
In this work we show that Bardeen-Petterson accretion disks can exhibit unique, detectable features in relativistically broadened emission line profiles. Some of the unique charact…
Off-Axis Neutrino Scattering in GRB Central Engines
Nathan D. George, Arkady Kheyfets, John M. McGhee +1
The search for an understanding of an energy source great enough to explain the gamma-ray burst (GRB) phenomena has attracted much attention from the astrophysical community since…
Estimation of relativistic accretion disk parameters from iron line emission
Vladimir I. Pariev, Benjamin C. Bromley, Warner A. Miller
The observed iron K-alpha fluorescence lines in Seyfert-1 galaxies provide strong evidence for an accretion disk near a supermassive black hole as a source of the emission. Here we…
Line Emission from an Accretion Disk around a Rotating Black Hole: Toward a Measurement of Frame Dragging
Benjamin C. Bromley, Kaiyou Chen, Warner A. Miller
Line emission from an accretion disk and a corotating hot spot about a rotating black hole are considered for possible signatures of the frame-dragging effect. We explicitly compar…
