The Astropy Problem
Demitri Muna, Michael Alexander, Alice Allen +151
The Astropy Project (http://astropy.org) is, in its own words, "a community effort to develop a single core package for Astronomy in Python and foster interoperability between Pyth…
Simulations of Magnetic Fields in Tidally-Disrupted Stars
James Guillochon, Michael McCourt
We perform the first magnetohydrodynamical simulations of tidal disruptions of stars by supermassive black holes. We consider stars with both tangled and ordered magnetic fields, f…
Death by Dynamics: Planetoid-Induced Explosions on White Dwarfs
Rosanne Di Stefano, Robert Fisher, James Guillochon +1
At intervals as short as ten thousand years, each white dwarf (WD) passes within a solar radius of a planetoid, i.e., a comet, asteroid, or planet. Gravitational tidal forces tear…
Illuminating Massive Black Holes With White Dwarfs: Orbital Dynamics and High Energy Transients from Tidal Interactions
Morgan MacLeod, Jacqueline Goldstein, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz +2
White dwarfs (WDs) can be tidally disrupted only by massive black holes (MBHs) with masses less than . These tidal interactions feed material to the MBH well abov…
