The AGN Channel in 3D: Scattering Belts and the Importance of Eccentricity in the Black Hole Population
Connar Rowan, Martin E. Pessah
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are a promising origin for observed gravitational wave mergers. Current population synthesis models are limited to 1D N-body or Monte Carlo methods whi…
Magnetically Driven Obliquity in Circumplanetary Disks and Twisted Bipolar-jet Formation
Raúl O. Chametla, Martin E. Pessah, F. Javier Sánchez-Salcedo +4
Circumplanetary disks (CPDs) regulate gas accretion onto forming giant planets and provide the environment in which their satellites may form. We use high-resolution, global three-…
First Very Long Baseline Interferometry Fringe Detection at 690GHz
Ming-Tang Chen, Geoffrey B. Crew, Dan Bintley +42
We report the first very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) experiment conducted in the 690 GHz atmospheric window. On 2024 November 21, observations with the Atacama Large Millim…
The impact of recombination during tidal disruption events
Simona Pacuraru, Clément Bonnerot, Martin E. Pessah
During a tidal disruption event, the resulting debris stream cools down adiabatically due to the tidal stretching. As the temperature drops, the gas is expected to undergo chemical…
Global simulations of accretion flows onto perturbers embedded in magnetized disks -I. MRI and jet formation in ideal MHD
Raúl O. Chametla, F. J. Sánchez-Salcedo, Martin E. Pessah +1
We present the highest resolution global MHD simulations to date of gas flow around a low mass a perturber with mass ratio , embedded in an accretion disk ar…
Insights from Analytical Theory of Eccentric Circumbinary Disks II. Forced Modes and Resonance for Precessing Binaries
Marcela Grcic, Daniel J. D'Orazio, Martin E. Pessah
An eccentric, unequal-mass binary induces forced eccentricity in a circumbinary disk through the non-axisymmetric component of its gravitational potential. Building on the theory o…
