Fossil Gas and the Electromagnetic Precursor of Supermassive Binary Black Hole Mergers
P. Chang, L. E. Strubbe, K. Menou +1
Using a one-dimensional height integrated model, we calculate the evolution of an unequal mass binary black hole with a coplanar gas disk that contains a gap due to the presence of…
Optical Flares from the Tidal Disruption of Stars by Massive Black Holes
Linda E. Strubbe, Eliot Quataert
A star that wanders too close to a massive black hole (BH) is shredded by the BH's tidal gravity. Stellar gas falls back to the BH, releasing a flare of energy. In anticipation of…
Training the Next Generation of Astronomers
Peter K. G. Williams, Eric Huff, Holly Maness +28
While both society and astronomy have evolved greatly over the past fifty years, the academic institutions and incentives that shape our field have remained largely stagnant. As a…
Probing Quiescent Massive Black Holes: Insights from Tidal Disruption Events
Suvi Gezari, Linda Strubbe, Joshua S. Bloom +10
Tidal disruption events provide a unique probe of quiescent black holes in the nuclei of distant galaxies. The next generation of synoptic surveys will yield a large sample of flar…
