Suppressed accretion onto massive black hole binaries surrounded by thin disks
Christopher Tiede, Jonathan Zrake, Andrew MacFadyen +1
We demonstrate that gas disks around binary systems might deliver gas to the binary components only when the circumbinary disk is relatively warm. We present new grid-based hydrody…
R-process Rain from Binary Neutron Star Mergers in the Galactic Halo
Benjamin Amend, Jonathan Zrake, Dieter H. Hartmann
Compact binary mergers involving at least one neutron star are promising sites for the synthesis of -process elements found in stars and planets. However, mergers can t…
How Binaries Accrete: Hydrodynamic Simulations with Passive Tracer Particles
Christopher Tiede, Jonathan Zrake, Andrew MacFadyen +1
Linear analysis of gas flows around orbiting binaries suggests that a centrifugal barrier ought to clear a low-density cavity around the binary and inhibit mass transfer onto it. M…
Gas-driven inspiral of binaries in thin accretion disks
Christopher Tiede, Jonathan Zrake, Andrew MacFadyen +1
Numerical studies of gas accretion onto supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) have generally been limited to conditions where the circumbinary disk (CBD) is 10-100 times thicke…
Ab initio Simulations of a Supernova Driven Galactic Dynamo in an Isolated Disk Galaxy
Iryna Butsky, Jonathan Zrake, Ji-hoon Kim +2
We study the magnetic field evolution of an isolated spiral galaxy, using isolated Milky Way-mass galaxy formation simulations and a novel prescription for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD…
