Perturbed disks get shocked. Binary black hole merger effects on accretion disks
Miguel Megevand, Matthew Anderson, Juhan Frank +5
The merger process of a binary black hole system can have a strong impact on a circumbinary disk. In the present work we study the effect of both central mass reduction (due to the…
The Stability of Double White Dwarf Binaries Undergoing Direct Impact Accretion
Patrick M. Motl, Juhan Frank, Joel E. Tohline +1
We present numerical simulations of dynamically unstable mass transfer in a double white dwarf binary with initial mass ratio, q = 0.4. The binary components are approximated as po…
Evolution of Close White Dwarf Binaries
Vayujeet Gokhale, Xiao Meng Peng, Juhan Frank
We describe the evolution of double degenerate binary systems, consisting of components obeying the zero temperature mass radius relationship for white dwarf stars, from the onset…
Numerical Simulations of the Onset and Stability of Dynamical Mass Transfer in Binaries
Mario C. R. D'Souza, Patrick M. Motl, Joel E. Tohline +1
Hydrodynamical simulations of semi-detached, polytropic binary stars are presented in an effort to study the onset and stability of dynamical mass transfer events. Initial, synchro…
Galaxy Formation in Triaxial Halos: Black Hole-Bulge-Dark Halo Correlation
Amr El-Zant, Isaac Shlosman, Mitch Begelman +1
The masses of supermassive black holes (SBHs) show correlations with bulge properties in disk and elliptical galaxies. We study the formation of galactic structure within flat-core…
