Semi-Analytic Solutions For Warped, Super-Eddington Accretion Disks with Outflows

Gabriel Wohlfarth, Matthew Middleton, Omer Blaes +1

The discovery of billion solar mass black holes at high redshift challenges any standard Eddington-limited growth model. Previous work has shown that an advective accretion disk ca…

Strong Polarization Signatures from Magnetically Stabilized Luminous Thin Accretion Disks

P. Chris Fragile, Peter Anninos, Madeline Breiling +2

We utilize the Monte Carlo radiation transport capabilities of Cosmos++ to explore the polarization and Faraday rotation of radiation emitted from a set of general relativistic rad…

Polarization Signatures from GRMHD Simulations of Black Hole Accretion

P. Chris Fragile, Maciek Wielgus, Cora Prather

This chapter tells the still-unfolding story of extracting polarization signatures from general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics simulations of accretion disks. In some sense, thi…

The nature of tilted supercritical accretion discs

P. Chris Fragile, Matthew J. Middleton, Brooks Brasseur +2

In this paper, we report on the first 3D general relativistic radiation magnetohydrodynamic simulations of large supercritical accretion discs that are tilted with respect to the b…

Even a precessing clock is right twice per orbit -- The super-periods of eRO-QPE2 and challenges for quasi-periodic eruption orbital models

R. Arcodia, G. Miniutti, J. Chakraborty +25

We present OC (``observed minus calculated'') timing analysis of the quasi-periodic eruption (QPE) source eRO-QPE2 with a multi-mission X-ray campaign, which includes 32 observe…

Tilted, warped, and eccentric disks

P. Chris Fragile, Adam Ingram, Gibwa Musoke +1

We review some of the interesting consequences that tilts, warps, and eccentricities can introduce into the dynamics, thermodynamics, and observational appearance of accreting syst…
