Discovery of polarized line emission in SN1006
W. B. Sparks, J. E. Pringle, R. F. Carswell +2
Laming (1990) predicted that the narrow Balmer line core of the ~3000 km/s shock in the SN 1006 remnant would be significantly polarized due to electron and proton impact polarizat…
Scars of Intense Accretion Episodes at Metal-Rich White Dwarfs
J. Farihi, B. T. Gänsicke, M. C. Wyatt +3
A re-evaluation of time-averaged accretion rates at DBZ-type white dwarfs points to historical, time-averaged rates significantly higher than the currently observed episodes at the…
Disc instability in RS Ophiuchi: a path to Type Ia supernovae?
R. D. Alexander, G. A. Wynn, A. R. King +1
We study the stability of disc accretion in the recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi. We construct a one-dimensional time-dependent model of the binary-disc system, which includes viscous he…
Retrograde Accretion and Merging Supermassive Black Holes
C. J. Nixon, P. J. Cossins, A. R. King +1
We investigate whether a circumbinary gas disc can coalesce a supermassive black hole binary system in the centre of a galaxy. This is known to be problematic for a prograde disc.…
The Accretion Disc Dynamo in the Solar Nebula
A. R. King, J. E. Pringle
The nearest accretion disc to us in space if not time was the protosolar nebula. Remnants of this nebula thus potentially offer unique insight into how discs work. In particular th…
Black hole mergers: can gas discs solve the `final parsec' problem?
G. Lodato, S. Nayakshin, A. R. King +1
We compute the effect of an orbiting gas disc in promoting the coalescence of a central supermassive black hole binary. Unlike earlier studies, we consider a finite mass of gas wit…
