Stellar Stripping and Disruption in Disks around Supermassive Black Hole Binaries: Repeating nuclear transients prior to LISA events
Daniel J. D'Orazio, Christopher Tiede, Lorenz Zwick +2
If supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) are driven together by gas disks in galactic nuclei, then a surrounding nuclear star cluster or in-situ star-formation should deliver s…
Hot, cold, and multi-component accretion flows around supermassive black hole binaries
Christopher Tiede, Daniel J. D'Orazio
We develop a model for supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) accreting below their Eddington limit, focusing on systems where hot, advection-dominated flows become viable. We s…
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…
Gravitational Wave Decoupling in Retrograde Circumbinary Disks
David O'Neill, Christopher Tiede, Daniel J. D'Orazio +2
We present a study of the late-time interaction between supermassive black hole binaries and retrograde circumbinary disks during the period of gravitational wave-driven inspiral.…
