Black Hole Spin in X-ray Binaries: Giving Uncertainties an
Greg Salvesen, Jonah M. Miller
The two established techniques for measuring black hole spin in X-ray binaries often yield conflicting results, which must be resolved before either method may be deemed robust. In…
Origin of Spin-Orbit Misalignments: The Microblazar V4641 Sgr
Greg Salvesen, Supavit Pokawanvit
Of the known microquasars, V4641 Sgr boasts the most severe lower limit (> 52°) on the misalignment angle between the relativistic jet axis and the binary orbital angular momentum.…
Six-Day Footraces in the Post-Pedestrianism Era
Greg Salvesen
In a six-day footrace, competitors accumulate as much distance as possible on foot over 144 consecutive hours by circumambulating a loop course. Now an obscure event on the fringe…
Convective Quenching of Field Reversals in Accretion Disc Dynamos
Matthew S. B. Coleman, Evan Yerger, Omer Blaes +2
Vertically stratified shearing box simulations of magnetorotational turbulence commonly exhibit a so-called butterfly diagram of quasi-periodic azimuthal field reversals. However,…
Shock Speed, Cosmic Ray Pressure, and Gas Temperature in the Cygnus Loop
Greg Salvesen, John C. Raymond, Richard J. Edgar
Upper limits on the shock speeds in supernova remnants can be combined with post-shock temperatures to obtain upper limits on the ratio of cosmic ray to gas pressure (P_CR / P_G) b…
