Perturbing AGN Accretion Disks with Stars and Moderately Massive Black Holes: Implications for Changing-Look AGN and Quasi-Periodic Eruptions
Sierra A. Dodd, Xiaoshan Huang, Shane W. Davis +1
We present a model that explains some extreme variability phenomena observed in active galactic nuclei (AGN). In this model, an orbiting companion interacts with the accretion disk…

Disk draining in LIGO progenitor black hole binaries and its significance to electromagnetic counterparts
Xiaoshan Huang, Sierra Dodd, Sophie Lund Schrøder +2
The effect of tidal forces on transport within a relic accretion disk in binary black holes is studied here with a suite of two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations. As the binary…
