Size of discs formed by wind accretion in binaries can be underestimated if the role of wind-driving force is ignored
Eric G. Blackman, Jonathan J. Carroll-Nellenback, Adam Frank +2
Binary systems consisting of a secondary accreting form a wind-emitting primary are ubiquitous in astrophysics. The phenomenology of such Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton (BHL) accretors is p…
Theoretical Support for the Hydrodynamic Mechanism of Pulsar Kicks
J. Nordhaus, T. D. Brandt, A. Burrows +2
The collapse of a massive star's core, followed by a neutrino-driven, asymmetric supernova explosion, can naturally lead to pulsar recoils and neutron star kicks. Here, we present…
Induced Rotation in 3D Simulations of Core Collapse Supernovae: Implications for Pulsar Spins
E. Rantsiou, A. Burrows, J. Nordhaus +1
It has been suggested that the observed rotation periods of radio pulsars might be induced by a non-axisymmetric spiral-mode instability in the turbulent region behind the stalled…
