Quasi-periodic Eruptions from Stellar-mass Black Holes Impacting Accretion Disks in Galactic Nuclei
Kun Liu, Shang-Fei Liu, Zhen Pan +3
We investigate the origins of quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) in galactic nuclei using global three-dimensional meshless finite-mass (MFM) simulations. By modeling stellar and blac…
A comprehensive comparison of spin-up and spin-down episodes of 4U 1538-522 observed with NuSTAR
Y. F. Hu, L. Ji, C. Yu
4U 1538-522 is a persistent high mass X-ray binary which exhibits secular spin evolution. In 2019, it underwent a torque reversal from spinning up to spinning down. We performed an…
Pulsar Glitches: A Review
Shiqi Zhou, Erbil Gügercinoğlu, Jianping Yuan +2
of all known pulsars have been observed to exhibit sudden spin-up events, known as glitches. For more than fifty years, these phenomena have played an important role in…
Toward a Full MHD Jet Model of Spinning Black Holes--II: Kinematics and Application to the M87 Jet
Lei Huang, Zhen Pan, Cong Yu
In this paper, we investigate the magnetohydrodynamical structure of a jet powered by a spinning black hole, where electromagnetic fields and fluid motion are governed by the Grad-…
Towards a Full MHD Jet Model of Spinning Black Holes--I: Framework and a split monopole example
Lei Huang, Zhen Pan, Cong Yu
In this paper, we construct a framework for investigating magnetohydrodynamical jet structure of spinning black holes (BHs), where electromagnetic fields and fluid motion are gover…
An Improved Algorithm for Crossing Curved Light Surfaces: rapidly rotating pulsar magnetospheres in curved spacetime
Lei Huang, Zhen Pan, Cong Yu
The structure of force-free, steady and axisymmetric magnetosphere of a neutron star (NS) is governed by the Grad-Shafranov (GS) equation, which is a second-order differential equa…
