The Delay Time Distribution of Tidal Disruption Events
Margaret Shepherd, K. Decker French, Nicholas C. Stone +6
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) can be observed when stars get too close to supermassive black holes and are torn apart and accreted. The delay time distribution of TDEs, or rate of…
Tidal Disruption Event Demographics in Supermassive Black Hole Binaries Over Cosmic Times
Denyz Melchor, Smadar Naoz, Suvi Gezari +1
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) offer a unique probe of supermassive black hole (SMBH) demographics, but their observed rates remain difficult to reconcile with standard single-SMBH…
The SXS Collaboration's third catalog of binary black hole simulations
Mark A. Scheel, Michael Boyle, Keefe Mitman +56
We present a major update to the Simulating eXtreme Spacetimes (SXS) Collaboration's catalog of binary black hole simulations. Using highly efficient spectral methods implemented i…
Simulating binary black hole mergers using discontinuous Galerkin methods
Geoffrey Lovelace, Kyle C. Nelli, Nils Deppe +28
Binary black holes are the most abundant source of gravitational-wave observations. Gravitational-wave observatories in the next decade will require tremendous increases in the acc…
