Gravitational-Wave Signatures of Massive Black Hole Formation

Bernard J. Kelly, Sarah Gossan, Leonardo R. Werneck +5

Direct-collapse black holes (DCBHs) are an important component of the massive black hole population of the early universe, and their formation and early mergers will be prominent i…

Toward 2D Dynamo Models Calibrated by Global 3D Relativistic Accretion Disk Simulations

Matthew D. Duez, Courtney L. Cadenhead, Zachariah B. Etienne +2

Two-dimensional models assuming axisymmetry are an economical way to explore the long-term evolution of black hole accretion disks, but they are only realistic if the feedback of t…

Bound Debris Expulsion from Neutron Star Merger Remnants

Yossef Zenati, Julian H. Krolik, Leonardo R. Werneck +4

Many studies have found that neutron star mergers leave a fraction of the stars' mass in bound orbits surrounding the resulting massive neutron star or black hole. This mass is a s…
