Eccentric Mergers of Intermediate-Mass Black Holes from Evection Resonances in AGN Disks
Diego J. Muñoz, Nicholas C. Stone, Cristobal Petrovich +1
We apply the theory of nonlinear resonance capture to the problem of a black hole binary (BHB) orbiting a supermassive black hole (SMBH) while embedded in the accretion disk of an…
Long-Lived Eccentric Modes in Circumbinary Disks
Diego J. Muñoz, Yoram Lithwick
Hydrodynamical simulations show that circumbinary disks become eccentric, even when the binary is circular. Here we demonstrate that, in steady state, the disk's eccentricity behav…
Circumbinary Accretion from Finite and Infinite Disks
Diego Muñoz, Dong Lai, Kaitlin Kratter +1
We carry out 2D viscous hydrodynamics simulations of circumbinary disk (CBD) accretion using {\footnotesize AREPO}. We resolve the accretion flow from a large-scale CBD down to the…
Hydrodynamics of circumbinary accretion: Angular momentum transfer and binary orbital evolution
Diego J. Muñoz, Ryan Miranda, Dong Lai
We carry out 2D viscous hydrodynamical simulations of circumbinary accretion using the AREPO code. We self-consistently compute the accretion flow over a wide range of spatial scal…
