Constraining the Accretion Rate Onto Sagittarius A* Using Linear Polarization
Eliot Quataert, Andrei Gruzinov
Two possible explanations for the low luminosity of the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy are (1) an accretion rate of order the canonical Bondi value (roughly 10…
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…
Lyman Alpha Cooling Radiation from High-Redshift Halos
Zoltan Haiman, Marco Spaans, Eliot Quataert
The baryons inside high-redshift halos with virial temperatures above T=10^4 K cool radiatively as they condense inside dark matter potential wells. We show that the release of the…
Angular Momentum Transport in Particle and Fluid Disks
Eliot Quataert, Eugene I. Chiang
We examine the angular momentum transport properties of disks composed of macroscopic particles whose velocity dispersions are externally enhanced (``stirred''). Our simple Boltzma…
