Nonthermal emission from the plunging region: a model for the high-energy tail of black hole X-ray binary soft states
Amelia Hankla, Nicolas Scepi, Jason Dexter
X-ray binaries exhibit a soft spectral state comprising thermal blackbody emission at 1 keV and a power-law tail above 10 keV. Empirical models fit the high-energy power-law tail t…
Kinetic Simulations of Imbalanced Turbulence in a Relativistic Plasma: Net Flow and Particle Acceleration
Amelia Hankla, Vladimir Zhdankin, Gregory Werner +2
Turbulent high-energy astrophysical systems often feature asymmetric energy injection: for instance, Alfven waves propagating from an accretion disk into its corona. Such systems a…
Local Simulations of Heating Torques on a Luminous Body in an Accretion Disk
Amelia Hankla, Yan-Fei Jiang, Philip Armitage
A luminous body embedded in an accretion disk can generate asymmetric density perturbations that lead to a net torque and thus orbital migration of the body. Linear theory has show…
