Supernova Kicks and Misaligned Microquasars
Rebecca G. Martin, Christopher A. Tout, J. E. Pringle
The low-mass X-ray binary microquasar GRO J1655-40 is observed to have a misalignment between the jets and the binary orbital plane. Since the current black hole spin axis is likel…
The Shape of an Accretion Disc in a Misaligned Black Hole Binary
Rebecca G. Martin, J. E. Pringle, Christopher A. Tout
We model the overall shape of an accretion disc in a semi-detached binary system in which mass is transfered on to a spinning black hole the spin axis of which is misaligned with t…
Supernova Kicks and Misaligned Be Star Binaries
Rebecca G. Martin, Christopher A. Tout, J. E. Pringle
Be stars are rapidly spinning B stars surrounded by an outflowing disc of gas in Keplerian rotation. Be star/X-ray binary systems contain a Be star and a neutron star. They are fou…
