Kicks and Induced Spins of Neutron Stars at Birth
Matthew S. B. Coleman, Adam Burrows
Using simulations of non-rotating supernova progenitors, we explore the kicks imparted to and the spins induced in the compact objects birthed in core collapse. We find that the re…
Boundary Layers of Accretion Disks: Discovery of Vortex-Driven Modes and Other Waves
Matthew S. B. Coleman, Roman R. Rafikov, Alexander A. Philippov
Disk accretion onto weakly magnetized objects possessing a material surface must proceed via the so-called boundary layer (BL) - a region at the inner edge of the disk, in which th…
An Extension of the Athena++ Framework for General Equations of State
Matthew S. B. Coleman
We present modifications to the Athena++ framework to enable use of general equations of state (EOS). Part of our motivation for doing so is to model transient astrophysics phenome…
Gravitational-wave-moderated Accretion: The Case of ES Ceti
Matthew S. B. Coleman, Tejaswi Venumadhav, Barak Zackay
We show that recent observations of the compact binary, AM CVn type system, ES Ceti are fully consistent with theoretical predictions of stable mass transfer moderated by angular m…
Solving the Riemann Problem for Realistic Astrophysical Fluids
Zhuo Chen, Matthew S. B. Coleman, Eric G. Blackman +1
We present new methods to solve the Riemann problem both exactly and approximately for general equations of state (EoS) to facilitate realistic modeling and understanding of astrop…
Convection Enhances Magnetic Turbulence in AM CVn Accretion Disks
Matthew S. B. Coleman, Omer Blaes, Shigenobu Hirose +1
We present the results of local, vertically stratified, radiation magnetohydrodynamic shearing box simulations of magnetorotational instability (MRI) turbulence for a (hydrogen poo…
