Magnetized accretion onto rapidly spinning binary black holes: mini-disk thermodynamics, magnetic transport, and dual jets
Luciano Combi, Manuela Campanelli, Sean M. Ressler +2
Supermassive binary black holes embedded in gas-rich environments are promising multi-messenger sources for pulsar timing arrays and future space-borne gravitational-wave interfero…
The Radius of the Neutron Star PSR J0614-3329 from NICER Data
M. C. Miller, A. J. Dittmann, I. M. Holt +14
Neutron star radius measurements, particularly using X-ray data collected with the Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER), have provided invaluable information for mode…
Signatures of Compact Object Mergers Inside Stars in AGN Disks
Matteo Cantiello, Alexander J. Dittmann, Saavik Ford +4
Disks of gas accreting onto supermassive black holes, powering active galactic nuclei (AGN), can capture stars from nuclear star clusters or form stars in situ via gravitational in…
Finite-Solid-Angle Boltzmann Radiation Transport on Dynamical Spacetimes in AthenaK
Hengrui Zhu, Alexander J. Dittmann, Lizhong Zhang +3
We extend the finite-solid-angle general relativistic radiation transport method of C. J. White et al. (2023) to time-dependent spacetimes represented in ADM form. This Valencia-ty…
Extreme-Mass-Ratio Inspirals in Gaseous Disks
Alexander J. Dittmann, Abhishek Hegade K. R., Callum W. Fairbairn
Gravitational waves from extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs) are precise probes of the environment of the supermassive black holes (SMBHs) they orbit. If an SMBH is actively accre…
The LISA Astrophysics "Disc-IMRI" Code Comparison Project: Intermediate-Mass-Ratio Binaries in AGN-Like Discs
Andrea Derdzinski, Alexander J. Dittmann, Alessia Franchini +16
Upcoming space-based gravitational wave detectors such as LISA, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, will be sensitive to extreme- and intermediate-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs a…
