Spin Demographics of Active Supermassive Black Holes: Updated Estimates from X-ray reflection and Future opportunities
Julia M. Sisk-Reynes, Christopher S. Reynolds, James H. Matthews +5
Understanding the growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) requires observational constraints on how their angular momentum (or spin) varies with mass, since the relative importa…
Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics of Black-Hole Coronae: QPOs, Turbulence, and Jets
Vanessa López-Barquero, Alejandro Jenkins, Christopher S. Reynolds +1
The variability of X-rays observed from accreting black hole systems, including quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs), suggests a complex nonlinear dynamics in the corona. Here, we pr…
Evidence for Supermassive Black Hole Binaries
Martin G. H. Krause, Martin A. Bourne, Silke Britzen +10
We review the state of the evidence for the existence and observational appearance of supermassive black hole binaries. Such objects are expected from standard hierarchical galaxy…
Disk warping and black hole X-ray binaries I. Tentative unification of low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations
Gregoire Marcel, Samuel Turner, Benjamin Ricketts +6
X-ray binaries exhibit complex variability patterns studied in the power-spectrum. These include the broad-band noise (BBN) components and various types of narrow components called…
The influence of accretion disk thickness on the large-scale magnetic dynamo
J. Drew Hogg, Christopher Reynolds
The evolution of the magnetic field from the large-scale dynamo is considered a central feature of the accretion disk around a black hole. The resulting low-frequency oscillations…
The Dynamics of Truncated Black Hole Accretion Disks II: Magnetohydrodynamic Case
J. Drew Hogg, Christopher S. Reynolds
We study a truncated accretion disk using a well-resolved, semi-global magnetohydrodynamic simulation that is evolved for many dynamical times (6096 inner disk orbits). The spectra…
