Nature vs Nurture: Three Dimensional MHD Simulations of Misaligned Embedded Circum-Single Disks within an AGN Disk
Bhupendra Mishra, Josh Calcino
Stellar mass black holes in the disks around active galactic nuclei (AGN) are promising sources for gravitational wave detections by LIGO/VIRGO. Recent studies suggest this environ…
Multi-Frequency General Relativistic Radiation-Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations of Thin Disks
P. Chris Fragile, Peter Anninos, Nathaniel Roth +1
We present a set of six general relativistic, multi-frequency, radiation magnetohydrodynamic simulations of thin accretion disks with different target mass accretion rates around b…
The Role of Strong Magnetic Fields in Stabilizing Highly Luminous, Thin Disks
Bhupendra Mishra, P. Chris Fragile, Jessica Anderson +3
We present a set of three-dimensional, global, general relativistic radiation magnetohydrodynamic simulations of thin, radiation-pressure-dominated accretion disks surrounding a no…
Kinetic Simulations of Instabilities and Particle Acceleration in Cylindrical Magnetized Relativistic Jets
José Ortuño-Macías, Krzysztof Nalewajko, Dmitri A. Uzdensky +4
Relativistic magnetized jets, such as those from AGN, GRBs and XRBs, are susceptible to current- and pressure-driven MHD instabilities that can lead to particle acceleration and no…
Contracting and Expanding Binary Black Holes in 3D Low-Mass AGN Disks: The Importance of Separation
Adam M. Dempsey, Hui Li, Bhupendra Mishra +1
LIGO/Virgo has detected several binary black hole (BBH) merger events that may have originated in the accretion disks of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). These events require individu…
Scaling of Magnetic Dissipation and Particle Acceleration in ABC Fields
Qiang Chen, Krzysztof Nalewajko, Bhupendra Mishra
Using particle-in-cell (PIC) numerical simulations with electron-positron pair plasma, we study how the efficiencies of magnetic dissipation and particle acceleration scale with th…
