A unified framework for hot accretion flows with finite angular momentum: from Bondi-like to disc-like regimes
Cheng-Liang Jiao, Liying Zhu, Er-gang Zhao +1
Observations of X-ray luminous elliptical galaxies suggest that the accretion rate onto the central supermassive black hole can reach a substantial fraction of the Bondi rate. Howe…
HD 26172: an active solar-type subgiant in a close binary system
Fang-Bin Meng, Li-Ying Zhu, Sheng-Bang Qian +5
We present the first comprehensive photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the RS CVn system HD 26172, robustly determining the previously debated evolutionary state of its prima…
Observational Properties of Cephei Stars: 88 new samples discovered Based on TESS and Gaia Data
Xiang-dong Shi, Sheng-bang Qian, Li-ying Zhu +5
We present a systematic investigation of Cephei (BCEP) stars by integrating photometric data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) with astrometric parameters…
Accretion rates of stellar-mass compact objects embedded in AGN discs
Cheng-Liang Jiao, Liying Zhu, Er-gang Zhao +1
Stellar-mass compact objects (COs) embedded in active galactic nucleus (AGN) discs are commonly assumed to accrete via Bondi or Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton (BHL) prescriptions, neglectin…
Orbital and Pulsation Analysis of 42 Heartbeat Stars Discovered in TESS Data
Min-Yu Li, Sheng-Bang Qian, Ai-Ying Zhou +7
Heartbeat stars (HBSs) are ideal laboratories for studying the formation and evolution of binary stars in eccentric orbits and their mutual tidal interactions. We present 42 new HB…
Heartbeat Stars Recognition Based on Recurrent Neural Networks: Method and Validation
Min-Yu Li, Sheng-Bang Qian, Li-Ying Zhu +7
Since the variety of their light curve morphologies, the vast majority of the known heartbeat stars (HBSs) have been discovered by manual inspection. Machine learning, which has al…
