SIROCCO: A Publicly Available Monte Carlo Ionization and Radiative Transfer Code for Astrophysical Outflows
James H. Matthews, Knox S. Long, Christian Knigge +8
Outflows are critical components of many astrophysical systems, including accreting compact binaries and active galactic nuclei (AGN). These outflows can significantly affect a sys…
State-of-the-art simulations of line-driven accretion disc winds: realistic radiation-hydrodynamics leads to weaker outflows
Nick Higginbottom, Nicolas Scepi, Christian Knigge +3
Disc winds are a common feature in accreting astrophysical systems on all scales. In active galactic nuclei (AGN) and accreting white dwarfs (AWDs), specifically, radiation pressur…
A transient ultraviolet outflow in the short-period X-ray binary UW CrB
S. Fijma, N. Castro Segura, N. Degenaar +4
Accreting low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) are capable of launching powerful outflows such as accretion disc winds. In disc winds, vast amounts of material can be carried away, pote…
Optical line spectra of tidal disruption events from reprocessing in optically thick outflows
Edward J. Parkinson, Christian Knigge, James H. Matthews +4
A significant number of tidal disruption events (TDEs) radiate primarily at optical and ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths, with only weak soft X-ray components. One model for this optic…
Thermally driven winds in ULXs
Matthew Middleton, Nick Higginbottom, Christian Knigge +2
The presence of radiatively driven outflows is well established in ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs). These outflows are optically thick and can reprocess a significant fraction o…
Accretion Disc Winds in Tidal Disruption Events: Ultraviolet Spectral Lines as Orientation Indicators
Edward J. Parkinson, Christian Knigge, Knox S. Long +4
Some tidal disruption events (TDEs) exhibit blueshifted broad absorption lines (BALs) in their rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) spectra, while others display broad emission lines (BELs)…
