Unlocking the QPE Mystery: Star-Disk Collisions in Realistic AGN Disks
Zhaohuan Zhu, Xiaoshan Huang, Yan-Fei Jiang +1
Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are luminous, recurring soft X-ray outbursts observed in the nuclei of low-mass galaxies. They display two remarkable trends: outburst durations are…
Does magnetic field promote or suppress fragmentation in AGN disks? Results from local shearing box simulations with simple cooling
Tsun Hin Navin Tsung, Mitchell C. Begelman, Philip J. Armitage +2
Accretion disks in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are predicted to become gravitationally unstable substantially interior to the black hole's sphere of influence, at radii where the…
Accretion of AGN Stars under Influence of Disk Geometry
Yi-Xian Chen, Yan-Fei Jiang, Jeremy Goodman
Massive stars can form within or be captured by AGN disks, influencing both the thermal structure and metallicity of the disk environment. In a previous work, we investigated isotr…
3D Radiation Hydrodynamic Simulations of Gravitational Instability in AGN Accretion Disks: Effects of Radiation Pressure
Yi-Xian Chen, Yan-Fei Jiang, Jeremy Goodman +1
We perform 3D radiation hydrodynamic local shearing box simulations to study the outcome of gravitational instability (GI) in optically thick Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) accretion…
Cosmic-Ray Transport in Simulations of Star-forming Galactic Disks
Lucia Armillotta, Eve C. Ostriker, Yan-Fei Jiang
Cosmic ray transport on galactic scales depends on the detailed properties of the magnetized, multiphase interstellar medium (ISM). In this work, we post-process a high-resolution…
