Radiation-ionization hydrodynamic simulations of AGN line-driven winds lead to transient shielding and BAL/UFO signatures
Nicolas Scepi, Christian Knigge, Amin Mosallanezhad +4
Disc winds from active galactic nuclei (AGN) can be launched by radiation pressure acting on spectral lines. However, launching a line-driven wind in the X-ray rich environment of…
Demystifying flux eruptions: Magnetic flux transport in magnetically arrested disks
Jonatan Jacquemin-Ide, Mitchell C. Begelman, Beverly Lowell +3
Magnetically arrested disks (MADs) are a compelling model for explaining variability in low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGN), including horizon-scale outbursts like those ob…
Monte-Carlo radiation hydrodynamic simulations of line-driven disc winds: relaxing the isothermal approximation
Amin Mosallanezhad, Christian Knigge, Nicolas Scepi +4
Disc winds play a crucial role in many accreting astrophysical systems across all scales. In accreting white dwarfs (AWDs) and active galactic nuclei (AGN), radiation pressure on s…
The inner structure and thermodynamics of a thin accretion disc
A. Hankla, J. Dexter, N. Scepi
Using three-dimensional general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations with electron and proton thermodynamics and an electron cooling function, we probe the inner radial and…
Thermal solutions of strongly magnetized disks and the hysteresis in X-ray binaries
Nicolas Scepi, Jason Dexter, Mitchell C. Begelman +3
X-ray binaries (XRBs) exhibit spectral hysteresis for luminosities in the range , with a hard X-ray spectral state that persists from…
SIROCCO: A Publicly Available Monte Carlo Ionization and Radiative Transfer Code for Astrophysical Outflows
James H. Matthews, Knox S. Long, Christian Knigge +8
Outflows are critical components of many astrophysical systems, including accreting compact binaries and active galactic nuclei (AGN). These outflows can significantly affect a sys…
