Moving-mesh radiation-hydrodynamic simulations of wind-reprocessed transients
Diego Calderón, Ondřej Pejcha, Paul C. Duffell
Motivated by recent theoretical work on tidal disruption events and other peculiar transients, we present moving-mesh radiation-hydrodynamic simulations of radiative luminosity emi…
Circumbinary Disks: Accretion and Torque as a Function of Mass Ratio and Disk Viscosity
Paul C. Duffell, Daniel D'Orazio, Andrea Derdzinski +4
Using numerical hydrodynamics calculations and a novel method for densely sampling parameter space, we measure the accretion and torque on a binary system from a circumbinary disk.…
Gas Flows Within Cavities of Circumbinary Discs in Eccentric Binary Protostellar Systems
Philipp Mösta, Ronald E. Taam, Paul C. Duffell
The structure and evolution of gas flows within the cavity of a circumbinary disk (CBD) surrounding the stellar components in eccentric binaries are examined via two-dimensional hy…
Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA): Convective Boundaries, Element Diffusion, and Massive Star Explosions
Bill Paxton, Josiah Schwab, Evan B. Bauer +10
We update the capabilities of the software instrument Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) and enhance its ease of use and availability. Our new approach to locat…
