On the rates of binary star collisions around hypermassive black holes
Megha Sharma, Alexander Heger, Evgeni Grishin +1
Observations of the Milky Way show that galaxies have binary stars in their centres. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we model the population statistics of encounters of such binarie…
A benchmark for binary star interaction with a supermassive black hole in general relativity
Megha Sharma, Alexander Heger, Daniel J. Price +4
Most galaxies have supermassive black holes (SMBH) at their centres, surrounded by stars with binary systems also present in this environment. We use two schemes - post-Newtonian (…
Probing initial distributions of orbital eccentricity and disc misalignment via polar discs
Simone Ceppi, Nicolás Cuello, Giuseppe Lodato +4
In a population of multiple protostellar systems with discs, the sub-population of circumbinary discs whose orbital plane is highly misaligned with respect to the binary's orbital…
On the diffusive propagation of warps in thin accretion discs
G. Lodato, D. Price
In this paper we revisit the issue of the propagation of warps in thin and viscous accretion discs. In this regime warps are know to propagate diffusively, with a diffusion coeffic…
