Circumbinary Disks: Accretion and Torque as a Function of Mass Ratio and Disk Viscosity
Paul C. Duffell, Daniel D'Orazio, Andrea Derdzinski +4
Using numerical hydrodynamics calculations and a novel method for densely sampling parameter space, we measure the accretion and torque on a binary system from a circumbinary disk.…
Two years of non-thermal emission from the binary neutron star merger GW170817: rapid fading of the jet afterglow and first constraints on the kilonova fastest ejecta
A. Hajela, R. Margutti, K. D. Alexander +27
We present Chandra and VLA observations of GW170817 at ~521-743 days post merger, and a homogeneous analysis of the entire Chandra data set. We find that the late-time non-thermal…
Nonthermal ion acceleration by the kink instability in nonrelativistic jets
E. Paulo Alves, Jonathan Zrake, Frederico Fiuza
We investigate the self-consistent particle acceleration physics associated with the development of the kink instability (KI) in nonrelativistic, electron-ion plasma jets. Using 3D…
Multi-Messenger Astronomy with Extremely Large Telescopes
Ryan Chornock, Philip S. Cowperthwaite, Raffaella Margutti +82
The field of time-domain astrophysics has entered the era of Multi-messenger Astronomy (MMA). One key science goal for the next decade (and beyond) will be to characterize gravitat…
