The Delay Time Distribution of Tidal Disruption Events
Margaret Shepherd, K. Decker French, Nicholas C. Stone +6
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) can be observed when stars get too close to supermassive black holes and are torn apart and accreted. The delay time distribution of TDEs, or rate of…
Tidal Disruption Event Demographics in Supermassive Black Hole Binaries Over Cosmic Times
Denyz Melchor, Smadar Naoz, Suvi Gezari +1
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) offer a unique probe of supermassive black hole (SMBH) demographics, but their observed rates remain difficult to reconcile with standard single-SMBH…
The SXS Collaboration's third catalog of binary black hole simulations
Mark A. Scheel, Michael Boyle, Keefe Mitman +56
We present a major update to the Simulating eXtreme Spacetimes (SXS) Collaboration's catalog of binary black hole simulations. Using highly efficient spectral methods implemented i…
Simulating binary black hole mergers using discontinuous Galerkin methods
Geoffrey Lovelace, Kyle C. Nelli, Nils Deppe +28
Binary black holes are the most abundant source of gravitational-wave observations. Gravitational-wave observatories in the next decade will require tremendous increases in the acc…
Formulation Improvements for Critical Collapse Simulations
Daniela Cors, Sarah Renkhoff, Hannes R. Rüter +2
The precise tuning required to observe critical phenomena in gravitational collapse poses a challenge for most numerical codes. First, threshold estimation searches may be obstruct…
Tidal Disruption Events from the Combined Effects of Two-Body Relaxation and the Eccentric Kozai-Lidov Mechanism
Denyz Melchor, Brenna Mockler, Smadar Naoz +2
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) take place when a star ventures too close to a supermassive black hole (SMBH) and becomes ruptured. One of the leading proposed physical mechanisms o…
Uncovering Hidden Massive Black Hole Companions with Tidal Disruption Events
Brenna Mockler, Denyz Melchor, Smadar Naoz +1
Dynamical perturbations from supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries can increase the rates of tidal disruption events (TDEs). However, most previous work focuses on TDEs from the…
Laying the foundation of the effective-one-body waveform models SEOBNRv5: improved accuracy and efficiency for spinning non-precessing binary black holes
Lorenzo Pompili, Alessandra Buonanno, Héctor Estellés +21
We present SEOBNRv5HM, a more accurate and faster inspiral-merger-ringdown gravitational waveform model for quasi-circular, spinning, nonprecessing binary black holes within the ef…
Tidal disruption events from eccentric orbits and lessons learned from the noteworthy ASASSN-14ko
Chang Liu, Brenna Mockler, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz +5
Stars grazing supermassive black holes (SMBHs) on bound orbits may survive tidal disruption, causing periodic flares. Inspired by the recent discovery of the periodic nuclear trans…
The Combined Effects of Two-Body Relaxation Processes and the Eccentric Kozai-Lidov Mechanism on the EMRI Rate
Smadar Naoz, Sanaea C. Rose, Erez Michaely +4
Gravitational wave (GW) emissions from extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) are promising sources for low-frequency GW-detectors. They result from a compact object, such as a stell…
Simulating magnetized neutron stars with discontinuous Galerkin methods
Nils Deppe, François Hébert, Lawrence E. Kidder +33
Discontinuous Galerkin methods are popular because they can achieve high order where the solution is smooth, because they can capture shocks while needing only nearest-neighbor com…
