How to Escape from a Trap: Outcomes of Repeated Black Hole Mergers in AGN
Shmuel Gilbaum, Evgeni Grishin, Nicholas C. Stone +1
Stellar-mass black holes (BHs) embedded in active galactic nuclei (AGN) may be major sources of astrophysical gravitational waves (GWs), contributing both to the observed LIGO-Virg…
The Effect of Thermal Torques on AGN Disc Migration Traps and Gravitational Wave Populations
Evgeni Grishin, Shmuel Gilbaum, Nicholas C. Stone
Accretion discs in active galactic nuclei (AGN) foster black hole (BH) formation, growth, and mergers. Stellar mass BHs migrate inwards under the influence of hydrodynamical torque…
Magnetically Dominated Disks in Tidal Disruption Events and Quasi-Periodic Eruptions
Karamveer Kaur, Nicholas C. Stone, Shmuel Gilbaum
The classical radiation pressure instability has been a persistent theoretical feature of thin, radiatively efficient accretion disks with accretion rates 1 to 100 per cent of the…
Interacting Stellar EMRIs as Sources of Quasi-Periodic Eruptions in Galactic Nuclei
Brian D. Metzger, Nicholas C. Stone, Shmuel Gilbaum
A star that approaches a supermassive black hole (SMBH) on a circular extreme mass ratio inspiral (EMRI) can undergo Roche lobe overflow (RLOF), resulting in a phase of long-lived…
Feedback-Dominated Accretion Flows
Shmuel Gilbaum, Nicholas C. Stone
We present new two-fluid models of accretion disks in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) that aim to address the long-standing problem of Toomre instability in AGN outskirts. In the spi…
