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)…
Studying the link between radio galaxies and AGN fuelling with relativistic hydrodynamic simulations of flickering jets
Henry W. Whitehead, James H. Matthews
We present two- and three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of kpc-scale AGN jets with mean jet powers in the range erg~s, in which the jet powe…
