Signatures of Compact Object Mergers Inside Stars in AGN Disks
Matteo Cantiello, Alexander J. Dittmann, Saavik Ford +4
Disks of gas accreting onto supermassive black holes, powering active galactic nuclei (AGN), can capture stars from nuclear star clusters or form stars in situ via gravitational in…
McFACTS. IV. Electromagnetic Counterparts to AGN-disk-embedded Binary Black Hole Mergers
Emily McPike, Rosalba Perna, K. E. Saavik Ford +10
The accretion disks of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are promising environments for producing binary black hole (BBH) mergers, which have been detected via gravitational waves (GWs…
Pulsational Instability of Quasi-Stars: Interpreting the Variability of Little Red Dots
Matteo Cantiello, Jake B. Hassan, Rosalba Perna +5
The JWST discovery of "Little Red Dots" (LRDs) has revealed a population of compact, red sources at that likely host supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Recent observat…
Hydrodynamic Simulations of Tidal Disruption Encores
Ian P. A. Johnson, Taeho Ryu, Rosalba Perna
We present hydrodynamic simulations with the moving-mesh code AREPO of Tidal Disruption Encores (TDEEs) in nuclear star clusters (NSCs). TDEEs arise when a stellar-mass black hole…
The Photospheric Emission of a Short-Duration Gamma-Ray Burst Emerging from a Realistic Binary Neutron Star Merger
Nathan Walker, Davide Lazzati, Tyler Parsotan +1
The almost simultaneous detection of GRB170817A and GW170817 ushered in nearly a decade of interest in binary neutron star mergers and their multi-messenger signals, resulting in a…
The Cosmological Population of Gamma-Ray Bursts from the Disks of Active Galactic Nuclei
Hoyoung D. Kang, Rosalba Perna, Davide Lazzati +1
With the discovery of gravitational waves (GWs), Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) disks have emerged as an interesting environment for hosting a fraction of their sources. AGN disks ar…
