Relativistic Effects on Circumbinary Orbit Stability
Gonzalo C. de Elía, Macarena Zanardi, Rebecca G. Martin
With n-body simulations and analytic approximations we study the dynamics and stability of low eccentricity misaligned test particles around binary systems with varying mass fracti…
Decretion disc size in Be/X-ray binaries depends upon the disc aspect ratio
Rebecca G. Martin, Stephen H. Lubow, Philip J. Armitage +1
With three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations we show that the size of the decretion disc and the structure of the accretion flow onto the neutron star in a Be/X-ray binary str…
Relativistic Effects on Circumbinary Disk Evolution: Breaking the Polar Alignment around Eccentric Black Hole Binary Systems
Anna C. Childs, Rebecca G. Martin, C. J. Nixon +4
We study the effects of general relativity (GR) on the evolution and alignment of circumbinary disks around binaries on all scales. We implement relativistic apsidal precession of…
Mergers of black hole binaries driven by misaligned circumbinary discs
Rebecca G. Martin, Stephen Lepp, Bing Zhang +2
With hydrodynamical simulations we examine the evolution of a highly misaligned circumbinary disc around a black hole binary including the effects of general relativity. We show th…
Black hole mergers driven by a captured low-mass companion
Stephen Lepp, Rebecca G. Martin, Bing Zhang
Increased eccentricity of a black hole binary leads to reduced merger times. With n-body simulations and analytic approximations including the effects of general relativity (GR), w…
