Electromagnetic Counterparts of Stellar-mass Binary Black Hole Mergers in AGN Accretion Disks: Theoretical Models and Observational Status
Lei He, Liang-Gui Zhu, Ken Chen +4
The discovery of the binary neutron star merger GW170817 and its electromagnetic counterparts marked the beginning of the era of multimessenger gravitational-wave astronomy. In con…
Observational Properties of Thermal Emission from Relativistic Jets Embedded in AGN Disks
Ken Chen, Zi-Gao Dai
Relativistic jets can be produced within the accretion disk of an active galactic nucleus (AGN), leading to distinct thermal emission as they propagate through a dense disk environ…
Super-Eddington Magnetized Neutron Star Accretion Flows: a Self-similar Analysis
Ken Chen, Zi-Gao Dai
The properties of super-Eddington accretion disks exhibit substantial distinctions from the sub- Eddington ones. In this paper, we investigate the accretion process of a magnetized…
Electromagnetic Counterparts Powered by Kicked Remnants of Black Hole Binary Mergers in AGN Disks
Ken Chen, Zi-Gao Dai
The disk of an active galactic nucleus (AGN) is widely regarded as a prominent formation channel of binary black hole (BBH) mergers that can be detected through gravitational waves…
The Role of Outflow Feedback on Accretion of Compact Objects in Accretion Disk of Active Galactic Nuclei
Ken Chen, Jia Ren, Zi-Gao Dai
Compact objects (COs) can exist and evolve in an active galactic nuclei (AGN) disk, triggering a series of attractive CO-related multi-messenger events around a supermassive black…
Interacting Kilonovae: Long-lasting Electromagnetic Counterparts to Binary Mergers in the Accretion Disks of Active Galactic Nuclei
Jia Ren, Ken Chen, Yun Wang +1
We investigate the dynamics and electromagnetic (EM) signatures of neutron star-neutron star (NS-NS) or neutron star-black hole (NS-BH) merger ejecta that occurs in the accretion d…
The Third Swift Burst Alert Telescope Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog
Amy Lien, Takanori Sakamoto, Scott D. Barthelmy +12
To date, the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) onboard Swift has detected ~ 1000 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), of which ~ 360 GRBs have redshift measurements, ranging from z = 0.03 to z = 9.3…
Multi-messenger astronomy of gravitational-wave sources with flexible wide-area radio transient surveys
Cregg C. Yancey, Brandon E. Bear, Bernadine Akukwe +10
We explore opportunities for multi-messenger astronomy using gravitational waves (GWs) and prompt, transient low-frequency radio emission to study highly energetic astrophysical ev…
