Nickel-Rich Outflows from Accretion Disks Formed by the Accretion-Induced Collapse of White Dwarfs
B. D. Metzger, A. L. Piro, E. Quataert
A white dwarf (WD) approaching the Chandrasekhar mass may in several cases undergo accretion-induced collapse (AIC) to a neutron star (NS) before a thermonuclear explosion ensues.…

Neutron-Rich Freeze-Out in Viscously Spreading Accretion Disks Formed from Compact Object Mergers
B. D. Metzger, A. L. Piro, E. Quataert
Accretion disks with masses ~0.001-0.1 Msun form during the merger of neutron star (NS)-NS and black hole-NS binaries. Initially, such hyper-accreting disks cool efficiently by neu…

Time-Dependent Models of Accretion Disks Formed from Compact Object Mergers
B. D. Metzger, A. L. Piro, E. Quataert
We present time-dependent models of the accretion disks created during compact object mergers, focusing on the energy available from accretion at late times and the composition of…
