The Stellar Merger Scenario for Black Holes in the Pair-instability Gap
M. Renzo, M. Cantiello, B. D. Metzger +1
The recent detection of GW190521 stimulated ideas on how to populate the predicted black hole pair-instability mass gap. One proposed scenario is the dynamical merger of two stars…

Local Simulations of Heating Torques on a Luminous Body in an Accretion Disk
Amelia Hankla, Yan-Fei Jiang, Philip Armitage
A luminous body embedded in an accretion disk can generate asymmetric density perturbations that lead to a net torque and thus orbital migration of the body. Linear theory has show…

Saturation of the MRI in Strongly Radiation Dominated Accretion Disks
Yan-Fei Jiang, James M. Stone, Shane W. Davis
The saturation level of the magneto-rotational instability (MRI) in a strongly radiation dominated accretion disk is studied using a new Godunov radiation MHD code in the unstratif…
