Spectral Appearance of Self-gravitating Disks Powered by Stellar Objects: Universal Effective Temperature in the Optical Continuum and Application to Little Red Dots
Yi-Xian Chen, Hanpu Liu, Ruancun Li +6
We revisit the spectral appearance of extended self-gravitating accretion disks surrounding compact central objects such as supermassive black holes. Using dust-poor opacities, we…
Accretion of AGN Stars under Influence of Disk Geometry
Yi-Xian Chen, Yan-Fei Jiang, Jeremy Goodman
Massive stars can form within or be captured by AGN disks, influencing both the thermal structure and metallicity of the disk environment. In a previous work, we investigated isotr…
Radiation Hydrodynamic Simulations of Massive Stars in Gas-rich Environments: Accretion of AGN Stars Suppressed By Thermal Feedback
Yi-Xian Chen, Yan-Fei Jiang, Jeremy Goodman +1
Massive stars may form in or be captured into AGN disks. Recent 1D studies employing stellar-evolution codes have demonstrated the potential for rapid growth of such stars through…
Life Cycles of Magnetic Fields in Stellar Evolution
D. Uzdensky, J. Arons, S. Balbus +5
This is a white paper submitted to the Stars and Stellar Evolution (SSE) Science Frontier Panel (SFP) of the NRC's Astronomy and Astrophysics 2010 Decadal Survey. The white paper i…
The Need for Plasma Astrophysics in Understanding Life Cycles of Active Galaxies
H. Li, J. Arons, P. Bellan +8
In this White Paper, we emphasize the need for and the important role of plasma astrophysics in the studies of formation, evolution of, and feedback by Active Galaxies. We make thr…
