X-ray and optical polarization aligned with the radio jet ejecta in GX 339-4
G. Mastroserio, B. De Marco, M. C. Baglio +27
We present the first X-ray polarization measurements of GX 339-4. IXPE observed this source twice during its 2023-2024 outburst, once in the soft-intermediate state and again durin…
Eddington envelopes: The fate of stars on parabolic orbits tidally disrupted by supermassive black holes
Daniel J. Price, David Liptai, Ilya Mandel +3
Stars falling too close to massive black holes in the centres of galaxies can be torn apart by the strong tidal forces. Simulating the subsequent feeding of the black hole with dis…
The Process of Stellar Tidal Disruption by Supermassive Black Holes. The first pericenter passage
Elena M. Rossi, Nicholas C. Stone, Jamie A. P. Law-Smith +4
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are among the brightest transients in the optical, ultraviolet, and X-ray sky. These flares are set into motion when a star is torn apart by the tida…
Black hole mergers: the first light
Elena M. Rossi, G. Lodato, P. J. Armitage +2
The coalescence of supermassive black hole binaries occurs via the emission of gravitational waves, that can impart a substantial recoil to the merged black hole. We consider the e…
Chaotic star formation and the alignment of stellar rotation with disc and planetary orbital axes
M. R. Bate, G. Lodato, J. E. Pringle
We investigate the evolution of the relative angle between the stellar rotation axis and the circumstellar disc axis of a star that forms in a stellar cluster from the collapse of…
Limits on the location of planetesimal formation in self-gravitating protostellar discs
C. Clarke, G. Lodato
In this Letter we show that if planetesimals form in spiral features in self-gravitating discs, as previously suggested by the idealised simulations of Rice et al, then in realisti…
