Dissipationless Mergers of Elliptical Galaxies and the Evolution of the Fundamental Plane
Michael Boylan-Kolchin, Chung-Pei Ma, Eliot Quataert
We carry out numerical simulations of dissipationless major mergers of elliptical galaxies using initial galaxy models that consist of a dark matter halo and a stellar bulge with p…
On the Viability of Two-temperature Accretion Flows
Eliot Quataert
Binney (2003) has argued that two-temperature radiatively inefficient accretion flow models are unphysical because the electron-ion equipartition time is much shorter than the accr…
Chandra, GLAST, and the Galactic Center
Eliot Quataert, Andrei Gruzinov
Two-temperature spherical accretion flows produce Mev gamma-rays from the decay of neutral pions created in proton-proton collisions close to the black hole; they als…
Particle Heating in Advection-Dominated Accretion Flows
Eliot Quataert
I review particle heating by MHD turbulence in collisionless plasmas appropriate to advection-dominated accretion flows. These considerations suggest that the preferential turbulen…
On the orbital decay of the PSR J0045-7319 Binary
Pawan Kumar, Eliot J. Quataert
Recent observations of PSR J0045-7319, a radio pulsar in a close eccentric orbit with a massive main sequence B-star companion, indicate that the system's orbital period is decreas…
