A transition in circumbinary accretion discs at a binary mass ratio of 1:25
Daniel J. D'Orazio, Zoltan Haiman, Paul Duffell +2
We study circumbinary accretion discs in the framework of the restricted three-body problem (R3Bp) and via numerically solving the height-integrated equations of viscous hydrodynam…
A reduced orbital period for the supermassive black hole binary candidate in the quasar PG 1302-102?
Daniel J. D'Orazio, Zoltán Haiman, Paul Duffell +2
Graham et al. (2015) have detected a 5.2 year periodic optical variability of the quasar PG 1302-102 at redshift , which they interpret as the redshifted orbital period $(1+…
Massive Black Hole Science with eLISA
Enrico Barausse, Jillian Bellovary, Emanuele Berti +4
The evolving Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (eLISA) will revolutionize our understanding of the formation and evolution of massive black holes along cosmic history by probing m…
Binary Black Hole Accretion During Inspiral and Merger
Brian D. Farris, Paul Duffell, Andrew I. MacFadyen +1
We present the results of 2D, moving mesh, viscous hydrodynamical simulations of accretion onto merging supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries. We include viscous heating, shock h…
Characteristic Signatures in the Thermal Emission from Accreting Binary Black Holes
Brian D. Farris, Paul Duffell, Andrew I. MacFadyen +1
We present the results of a calculation of the thermal spectrum from a 2D, moving mesh, high-accuracy, viscous hydrodynamical simulation of an accreting supermassive black hole bin…
The Migration of Gap-Opening Planets is not Locked to Viscous Disk Evolution
Paul C. Duffell, Zoltan Haiman, Andrew I. MacFadyen +2
Most standard descriptions of Type II migration state that massive, gap-opening planets must migrate at the viscous drift rate. This is based on the idea that the disk is separated…
