Runaway Eccentricity Growth: A Pathway for Binary Black Hole Mergers in AGN Disks
Josh Calcino, Adam M. Dempsey, Alexander J. Dittmann +1
Binary black holes embedded within the accretion disks that fuel active galactic nuclei (AGN) are promising progenitors for the source of gravitational wave events detected by LIGO…
The Evolution of Inclined Binary Black Holes in the Disks of Active Galactic Nuclei
Alexander J. Dittmann, Adam M. Dempsey, Hui Li
The accretion disks that fuel active galactic nuclei (AGN) may house numerous stars and compact objects, formed in situ or captured from nearby star clusters. Embedded neutron star…
The Evolution of Accreting Binaries: from Brown Dwarfs to Supermassive Black Holes
Alexander J. Dittmann, Geoffrey Ryan
Circumbinary accretion occurs throughout the universe, from the formation of stars and planets to the aftermath of major galactic mergers. We present an extensive investigation of…
