The effect of pressure confinement on the maximum mass of rapidly accreting supermassive stars
Lorenz Zwick, Christopher Tiede, Zoltán Haiman
We derive an extension of Chandrasekhar's pulsational stability criterion for relativistic stars with a pressure boundary condition at the surface. We then apply the new criterion…
Electromagnetic Emission and Orbital Evolution of Eccentric Supermassive Black Hole Binaries in Retrograde Disks
David ONeill, Mark J. Avara, Christopher Tiede +3
Circumbinary disks around supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) are expected to form across a broad range of inclinations, with retrograde configurations potentially a common o…
Hot, cold, and multi-component accretion flows around supermassive black hole binaries
Christopher Tiede, Daniel J. D'Orazio
We develop a model for supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) accreting below their Eddington limit, focusing on systems where hot, advection-dominated flows become viable. We s…
Gravitational Wave Decoupling in Retrograde Circumbinary Disks
David O'Neill, Christopher Tiede, Daniel J. D'Orazio +2
We present a study of the late-time interaction between supermassive black hole binaries and retrograde circumbinary disks during the period of gravitational wave-driven inspiral.…
Stellar Stripping and Disruption in Disks around Supermassive Black Hole Binaries: Repeating nuclear transients prior to LISA events
Daniel J. D'Orazio, Christopher Tiede, Lorenz Zwick +2
If supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) are driven together by gas disks in galactic nuclei, then a surrounding nuclear star cluster or in-situ star-formation should deliver s…
Accretion mediated spin-eccentricity correlations in LISA massive black hole binaries
Mudit Garg, Christopher Tiede, Daniel J. D'Orazio
We examine expected effective spin () and orbital eccentricity () correlations for a population of observable equal-mass massive black hole bina…
Fast Methods for Computing Photometric Variability of Eccentric Binaries: Boosting, Lensing, and Variable Accretion
Daniel J. D'Orazio, Paul C. Duffell, Christopher Tiede
We analyze accretion-rate time series for equal-mass binaries in co-planar gaseous disks spanning a continuous range of orbital eccentricities up to 0.8, for both prograde and retr…
Long-term Evolution of Binary Orbits Induced by Circumbinary Disks
Ruggero Valli, Christopher Tiede, Alejandro Vigna-Gómez +6
Circumbinary disks are found in a variety of astrophysical scenarios, spanning binary star formation to accreting supermassive black hole binaries. The interaction with a circumbin…
Disk induced binary precession: Implications for dynamics and multi-messenger observations of black hole binaries
Christopher Tiede, Daniel J. D'Orazio, Lorenz Zwick +1
Many studies have recently documented the orbital response of eccentric binaries accreting from thin circumbinary disks, characterizing the change in binary semi-major axis and ecc…
Equilibrium eccentricity of accreting binaries
Jonathan Zrake, Christopher Tiede, Andrew MacFadyen +1
Using high-resolution hydrodynamics simulations, we show that equal-mass binaries accreting from a circumbinary disk evolve toward an orbital eccentricity of , unles…
