Jet Feedback and the Self-Regulated Growth of Black Holes Embedded in AGN Disks
Marguerite Epstein-Martin, Kung-Yi Su, Zoltan Haiman +1
Accretion disks in active galactic nuclei (AGN) are expected to host embedded stellar-mass black holes (BHs) whose gas capture rates can be highly super-Eddington. Without feedback…
Mean Motion Resonances in AGN Disks
Marguerite Epstein-Martin, Nicholas Stone, Juliette Becker
Mean motion resonances (MMRs) are a generic outcome of convergent migration for bodies embedded in accretion disks around a central mass. Long studied in planetary systems, the sam…
Time-dependent models of AGN disks with radiation from embedded stellar-mass black holes
Marguerite Epstein-Martin, Hiromichi Tagawa, Zoltan Haiman +1
The brightest steady sources of radiation in the universe, active galactic nuclei (AGN), are powered by gas accretion onto a central supermassive black hole (SMBH). The large sizes…
Gas dynamical friction as a binary formation mechanism in AGN discs
Stanislav DeLaurentiis, Marguerite Epstein-Martin, Zoltan Haiman
In this paper, we study how gaseous dynamical friction (DF) affects the motion of fly-by stellar-mass black holes (sBHs) embedded in active galactic nucleus (AGN) discs. We perform…
