Galactic Centre star formation: the case of the missing gas disc
R. D. Alexander, S. L. Smedley, S. Nayakshin +1
We study the dynamical evolution of stars and gas close to the centre of the Milky Way. Any plausible means of forming the young stars observed at the Galactic Centre leaves behind…
Retrograde Accretion and Merging Supermassive Black Holes
C. J. Nixon, P. J. Cossins, A. R. King +1
We investigate whether a circumbinary gas disc can coalesce a supermassive black hole binary system in the centre of a galaxy. This is known to be problematic for a prograde disc.…
The Accretion Disc Dynamo in the Solar Nebula
A. R. King, J. E. Pringle
The nearest accretion disc to us in space if not time was the protosolar nebula. Remnants of this nebula thus potentially offer unique insight into how discs work. In particular th…
Fuelling Active Galactic Nuclei
A. R. King, J. E. Pringle
We suggest that most nearby active galactic nuclei are fed by a series of small--scale, randomly--oriented accretion events. Outside a certain radius these events promote rapid sta…
Wolf-Rayet and O Star Runaway Populations from Supernovae
L. M. Dray, J. E. Dale, M. E. Beer +2
We present numerical simulations of the runaway fractions expected amongst O and Wolf-Rayet star populations resulting from stars ejected from binaries by the supernova of the comp…
