Disc Novae: Thermodynamics of Gas Assisted Binary Black Hole Formation in AGN Discs
Henry Whitehead, Connar Rowan, Tjarda Boekholt +1
We investigate the thermodynamics of close encounters between stellar mass black holes (BHs) in the gaseous discs of active galactic nuclei (AGN), during which binary black holes (…
Black Hole Binaries in AGN Accretion Discs II: Gas Effects on Black Hole Satellite Scatterings
Connar Rowan, Henry Whitehead, Tjarda Boekholt +2
The black hole (BH) binaries in active galactic nuclei (AGN) are expected to form mainly through scattering encounters in the ambient gaseous medium. Recent simulations, including…
Gas Assisted Binary Black Hole Formation in AGN Discs
Henry Whitehead, Connar Rowan, Tjarda Boekholt +1
We investigate close encounters by stellar mass black holes (BHs) in the gaseous discs of active galactic nuclei (AGN) as a potential formation channel of binary black holes (BBHs)…
Star-forming environments in smoothed particle magnetohydrodynamics simulations I: Clump extraction and properties
James Wurster, Connar Rowan
What is the nature of a star forming clump? Observations reveal these to be chaotic environments being modified and influenced by many physical processes. However, numerical simula…
