Synchrotron Radiation From Radiatively Inefficient Accretion Flow Simulations: Applications to Sgr A*
Joshua E. Goldston, Eliot Quataert, Igor V. Igumenshchev
We calculate synchrotron radiation in three-dimensional pseudo-Newtonian magnetohydrodynamic simulations of radiatively inefficient accretion flows. We show that the emission is hi…
Core Formation in Galactic Nuclei Due to Recoiling Black Holes
Michael Boylan-Kolchin, Chung-Pei Ma, Eliot Quataert
Anisotropic gravitational radiation from a coalescing black hole binary can impart a recoil velocity of up to several hundred km/s to the remnant black hole. We examine the effects…
On the Maximum Luminosity of Galaxies and Their Central Black Holes: Feedback From Momentum-Driven Winds
Norman Murray, Eliot Quataert, Todd A. Thompson
We investigate large-scale galactic winds driven by momentum deposition. Momentum injection is provided by (1) radiation pressure produced by the continuum absorption and scatterin…
Viscosity and Rotation in Core-Collapse Supernovae
Todd A. Thompson, Eliot Quataert, Adam Burrows
We construct models of core-collapse supernovae in one spatial dimension, including rotation, angular momentum transport, and viscous dissipation employing an alpha-prescription. W…
Testing Radiatively-Inefficient Accretion Flow Theory: an XMM-Newton Observation of NGC 3998
A. Ptak, Y. Terashima, L. C. Ho +1
We present the results of a 10 ks XMM-Newton observation of NGC 3998, a ``type-I'' LINER galaxy. Our goal is to test the extent to which radiatively-inefficient accretion flow (RIA…
On The Nature of the Variable Infrared Emission from Sgr A*
Feng Yuan, Eliot Quataert, Ramesh Narayan
Recent infrared (IR) observations of the center of our Galaxy indicate that the supermassive black hole source Sgr A* is strongly variable in the IR. The timescale for the variabil…
