Impact of disk magnetic fields on the propagation of stellar-scale jets in the magnetically arrested accretion disks of active galactic nuclei
Bao-Quan Huang, Tong Liu, Jian-Fu Zhang
It is widely recognized that active galactic nucleus (AGN) disks host numerous massive stars and compact objects. Stellar-scale jets triggered by collapses of massive stars and mer…
Statistical analysis of multi-band plateaus in gamma-ray burst afterglows
Xiao-Yan Li, Tong Liu, Bao-Quan Huang +1
Plateau features are frequently observed in the afterglows of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), yet their physical origins remain under debate. In this work, we compile a sample of 124 GRBs…
Hyperaccretion-driven relativistic jets from massive collapsars in active galactic nucleus disks
Yun-Feng Wei, Tong Liu, Bao-Quan Huang
The observable characteristics of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) embedded in the accretion disk of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are mainly determined by the jet propagation within the di…
Variabilities driven by satellite black hole migration in AGN disks
Jing-Tong Xing, Tong Liu, Bao-Quan Huang +1
The physical origin of active galactic nucleus (AGN) variability remains unclear. Here we propose that the magnetic reconnection induced by the migration of satellite black holes (…
Anisotropy of core-collapse supernovae effected by AGN disks
Jiao-Zhen She, Tong Liu, Bao-Quan Huang +4
Active galactic nucleus (AGN) disk provide dense environments to influence on the star formation, evolution, and migration. In AGN disks, pressure gradients and migration accelerat…
Depolarization by jet precession in early optical afterglows of gamma-ray bursts
Bao-Quan Huang, Tong Liu, Guo-Yu Li
Polarization observations provide a unique way to probe the nature of jet magnetic fields in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Currently, some GRBs have been detected to be polarized in the…
