Preferential accretion onto eccentric and unequal binary black holes
Stanislav DeLaurentiis, Zoltán Haiman, Magdalena Siwek
Supermassive binary black holes (SMBBHs) are expected to be surrounded by circumbinary disks (CBDs) which affect the binary through gravitational forces and accretion. It has been…
Relativistic Binary Precession: Impact on Eccentric Binary Accretion and Multi-Messenger Astronomy
Stanislav DeLaurentiis, Zoltan Haiman, John Ryan Westernacher-Schneider +4
Recent hydrodynamical simulations have shown that circumbinary gas disks drive the orbits of binary black holes to become eccentric, even when general relativistic corrections to t…
Gas dynamical friction as a binary formation mechanism in AGN discs
Stanislav DeLaurentiis, Marguerite Epstein-Martin, Zoltan Haiman
In this paper, we study how gaseous dynamical friction (DF) affects the motion of fly-by stellar-mass black holes (sBHs) embedded in active galactic nucleus (AGN) discs. We perform…
