Cooling and Instabilities in Colliding Flows
R. N. Markwick, A. Frank, J. Carroll-Nellenback +4
Collisional self-interactions occurring in protostellar jets give rise to strong shocks, the structure of which can be affected by radiative cooling within the flow. To study such…
AGN as Potential Factories for Eccentric Black Hole Mergers
J. Samsing, I. Bartos, D. J. D'Orazio +6
There is some weak evidence that the black hole merger named GW190521 had a non-zero eccentricity. In addition, the component black holes' masses exceeded the limit predicted by st…
The advection-dominated accretion flow for the anti-correlation between the X-ray photon index and the X-ray luminosity in neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries
Erlin Qiao, B. F. Liu
Observationally, an anti-correlation between the X-ray photon index (obtained by fitting the X-ray spectrum between 0.5 and 10 keV with a single power law) and the X-ray lumino…
Magnetic-reconnection-heated corona in active galactic nuclei: refined disc-corona model and application to broad-band radiation
Huaqing Cheng, B. F. Liu, Jieying Liu +3
A long-standing question in active galactic nucleus (AGN) research is how the corona is heated up to produce X-ray radiation much stronger than that arising from the viscous heatin…
Wind accretion in Cygnus X-1
Emmi Meyer-Hofmeister, B. F. Liu, E. Qiao +1
Context: Cygnus X-1 is a black hole X-ray binary system in which the black hole captures and accretes gas from the strong stellar wind emitted by its supergiant O9.7 companion star…
A systematic study of the advection-dominated accretion flow for the origin of the X-ray emission in weakly magnetized low-level accreting neutron star
Erlin Qiao, B. F. Liu
Observationally, the X-ray spectrum ( keV) of low-level accreting neutron stars (NSs) can generally be well fitted by the model with two components, i.e, a thermal soft X-r…
