GW150914: First search for the electromagnetic counterpart of a gravitational-wave event by the TOROS collaboration

Mario C. Díaz, Martín Beroiz, Tania Peñuela +31

We present the results of the optical follow-up conducted by the TOROS collaboration of the first gravitational-wave event GW150914. We conducted unfiltered CCD observations (0.35-…

Wind Mass Loss Estimates in QSOs

Nicolas A. Pereyra

We derive here a relatively simple expression for the total wind mass loss rates in QSOs within the accretion disk wind scenario. We show that the simple expression derived here fo…

On The Formation Of Multiple Absorption Troughs In Broad Absorption Line QSOs

Nicolas A. Pereyra

We present theoretical CIV 1548,1550 absorption line profiles for QSOs calculated assuming the accretion disk wind (ADW) scenario. The results suggest that the multiple absorption…

Short-N characteristic radiative transfer method in 2D cylindrical RZ coordinates

Nicolas A. Pereyra, Joseph J. MacFarlane, Pamela R. Woodruff +2

We present a new radiative transfer method Short-N Characteristics that is a hybrid between the standard long characteristic methods and the standard short characteristic methods.…

Characteristic QSO Accretion Disk Temperatures from Spectroscopic Continuum Variability

Nicolas A. Pereyra, Daniel E. Vanden Berk, David A. Turnshek +5

Using Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) quasar spectra taken at multiple epochs, we find that the composite flux density differences in the rest frame wavelength range 1300-6000 AA c…

On the Steady Nature of Line-Driven Disk Winds: Application to Cataclysmic Variables

Nicolas A. Pereyra, David A. Turnshek, D. John Hillier

We apply the semi-analytical analysis of the steady nature of line-driven winds presented in two earlier papers to disk winds driven by the flux distribution of a standard Shakura…
