SPECULATE: A synthetic spectral library, emulator and fitting package for accretion disc winds -- Infrastructure and application to CVs
Austen G. W. Wallis, Christian Knigge, James H. Matthews +6
Disc winds are critical components of accreting astrophysical systems and their observations can yield a wide variety of spectral line profiles. Yet, inferring disc wind parameters…
Radiation-ionization hydrodynamic simulations of AGN line-driven winds lead to transient shielding and BAL/UFO signatures
Nicolas Scepi, Christian Knigge, Amin Mosallanezhad +4
Disc winds from active galactic nuclei (AGN) can be launched by radiation pressure acting on spectral lines. However, launching a line-driven wind in the X-ray rich environment of…
The critical role of clumping in line-driven disc winds
Amin Mosallanezhad, Christian Knigge, Nicolas Scepi +4
Radiation pressure on spectral lines is a promising mechanism for powering disc winds from accreting white dwarfs (AWDs) and active galactic nuclei (AGN). However, in radiation-hyd…
A Diagnostic Kit for Optical Emission Lines Shaped by Accretion Disc Winds
Austen G. W. Wallis, Christian Knigge, James H. Matthews +2
Blueshifted absorption is the classic spectroscopic signature of an accretion disc wind in X-ray binaries and cataclysmic variables (CVs). However, outflows can also create pure em…
Monte-Carlo radiation hydrodynamic simulations of line-driven disc winds: relaxing the isothermal approximation
Amin Mosallanezhad, Christian Knigge, Nicolas Scepi +4
Disc winds play a crucial role in many accreting astrophysical systems across all scales. In accreting white dwarfs (AWDs) and active galactic nuclei (AGN), radiation pressure on s…
SIROCCO: A Publicly Available Monte Carlo Ionization and Radiative Transfer Code for Astrophysical Outflows
James H. Matthews, Knox S. Long, Christian Knigge +8
Outflows are critical components of many astrophysical systems, including accreting compact binaries and active galactic nuclei (AGN). These outflows can significantly affect a sys…
