Radiation Transport Simulations of Quasi-Periodic Eruptions from Star-Disk Collisions
Indrek Vurm, Itai Linial, Brian D. Metzger
Periodic collisions between a star on an inclined orbit around a supermassive black hole and its accretion disk offers a promising explanation for X-ray "quasi-periodic eruptions"…

Fragmentation in Gravitationally-Unstable Collapsar Disks and Sub-Solar Neutron Star Mergers
Brian D. Metzger, Lam Hui, Matteo Cantiello
Although stable neutron stars (NS) can in principle exist down to masses Mns ~ 0.1Msun, standard models of stellar core-collapse predict a robust lower limit Mns >~ 1.2Msun, roughl…

Coupled Disk-Star Evolution in Galactic Nuclei and the Lifetimes of QPE Sources
Itai Linial, Brian D. Metzger
A modest fraction of the stars in galactic nuclei fed towards the central supermassive black hole (SMBH) approach on low-eccentricity orbits driven by gravitational-wave radiation…
