Geometrically Thin Sub-Eddington AGN Accretion Disks show a suppressed Lyman Edge
Ish Kaul, Yan-Fei Jiang, Omer Blaes +1
The observed ultraviolet continua of active galactic nuclei (AGN) generally lack a strong intrinsic HI Lyman edge predicted by classical optically thick accretion disk atmosphere m…
Star-Disk Collisions II: Debris Stream Dynamics and Implications for QPEs and Other Transients Near SMBHs
Philippe Z. Yao, Eliot Quataert, Yan-Fei Jiang +1
Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are repeating soft X-ray nuclear transients with recurrence times of hours-days and flare duty cycles of 10-20%. Many aspects of QPEs can be m…
PACHA: Probing AGN Coronae with High-redshift AGN
Xiurui Zhao, Elias Kammoun, Marco Ajello +18
The X-ray emission of active galactic nuclei (AGN) is generally attributed to inverse Compton scattering of accretion-disk photons by hot electrons in a compact corona. In local AG…
Radiation GRMHD Models of Accretion onto Stellar-Mass Black Holes: III. Near-Eddington Accretion
Lizhong Zhang, James M. Stone, Shane W. Davis +3
We present a comprehensive analysis of four near-Eddington black hole accretion models from GRMHD simulations with full radiation transport. This study investigates the dynamical e…
