The Effect of Thermal Torques on AGN Disc Migration Traps and Gravitational Wave Populations
Evgeni Grishin, Shmuel Gilbaum, Nicholas C. Stone
Accretion discs in active galactic nuclei (AGN) foster black hole (BH) formation, growth, and mergers. Stellar mass BHs migrate inwards under the influence of hydrodynamical torque…
Optical/UV Emission in the Tidal Disruption Event ASASSN-14li: Implications of Disc Modeling
Sixiang Wen, Peter G. Jonker, Nicholas C. Stone +2
We predict late-time optical/UV emission from tidal disruption events (TDEs) from our slim accretion disc model \citep{Wen20} and explore the impact of the black hole mass $M_\bull…
The Rapidly Spinning Intermediate-Mass Black Hole 3XMM J150052.0+015452
Z. Cao, P. G. Jonker, S. Wen +2
A star tidally disrupted by a black hole can form an accretion disc with a super-Eddington mass accretion rate; the X-ray emission produced by the inner disc provides constraints o…
Magnetically Dominated Disks in Tidal Disruption Events and Quasi-Periodic Eruptions
Karamveer Kaur, Nicholas C. Stone, Shmuel Gilbaum
The classical radiation pressure instability has been a persistent theoretical feature of thin, radiatively efficient accretion disks with accretion rates 1 to 100 per cent of the…
Stream-Disk Shocks as the Origins of Peak Light in Tidal Disruption Events
Elad Steinberg, Nicholas C. Stone
Tidal disruption events occur when stars are ripped apart by massive black holes, and result in highly luminous, multi-wavelength flares. Optical/UV observations of tidal disruptio…
A Library of Synthetic X-ray Spectra for Fitting Tidal Disruption Events
Sixiang Wen, Peter G. Jonker, Nicholas C. Stone +2
We present a tabulated version of our slim disk model for fitting tidal disruption events (TDEs). We create a synthetic X-ray spectral library by ray-tracing stationary general rel…
