Can the BZ mechanism power steady jets?
A. R. King, J. E. Pringle
We consider the Blandford-Znajek (BZ) mechanism for extracting black hole spin energy to drive astrophysical jets. Analyses of the BZ mechanism generally take no account of any ele…
Short gamma-ray bursts and the decompression of neutron star matter in tidal streams
C. J. Nixon, E. R. Coughlin, J. E. Pringle
Short gamma-ray bursts (sGRBs) are generally thought to result from the merger of two neutron stars or the merger of a neutron star with a black hole. It is becoming standard pract…
Extreme variability in an active galactic nucleus: Gaia16aax
G. Cannizzaro, M. Fraser, P. G. Jonker +12
We present the results of a multi-wavelength follow up campaign for the luminous nuclear transient Gaia16aax, which was first identified in January 2016. The transient is spatially…
The evolution of pitch angles of spiral arms
J. E. Pringle, C. L. Dobbs
In spiral galaxies, the pitch angle, , of the spiral arms is often proposed as a discriminator between theories for the formation of the spiral structure. In Lin-Shu density wav…
The Maximum Mass Solar Nebula and the early formation of planets
C. J. Nixon, A. R. King, J. E. Pringle
Current planet formation theories provide successful frameworks with which to interpret the array of new observational data in this field. However, each of the two main theories (c…
Galactic nuclei evolution with spinning black holes: method and implementation
Davide Fiacconi, Debora Sijacki, J. E. Pringle
Supermassive black holes at the centre of galactic nuclei mostly grow in mass through gas accretion over cosmic time. This process also modifies the angular momentum (or spin) of b…
