Strongly Magnetized Super-Eddington Accretion: How Spin and Accretion Rate Regulate Energy Output and Mass Loss
Tom Man Kwan, Lixin Dai, Cheuk Kwan Kan +5
Strongly magnetized super-Eddington accretion flows power many important astrophysical systems, but how black hole parameters control their output is unclear. We present 32 general…

Diverse Emission Patterns from Precessing Super-Eddington Disks Formed in Tidal Disruption Events
Jin-Hong Chen, Lixin Dai, Kan Cheuk Kwan +2
A tidal disruption event (TDE) occurs when a star passes within the tidal radius of a supermassive black hole (SMBH). In TDEs it is expected that the orbital angular momentum of th…

QPEs as Lense-Thirring precession of super-Eddington flows
M. Middleton, A. Gurpide, T. M. Kwan +9
Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are a recently identified class of X-ray transient associated with tidal disruption events by supermassive black holes, and for which there are mult…
