The chaotic four-body problem in Newtonian gravity -- II. An ansatz-based approach to analytic solutions
Carlos M. Barrera Retamal, Nathan W. C. Leigh, Nicholas C. Stone
In this paper, we continue our analysis of the chaotic four-body problem by presenting a general ansatz-based analytic treatment using statistical mechanics, where each outcome of…
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…
Heating Galaxy Clusters with Interacting Dark Matter
Yutaro Shoji, Eric Kuflik, Yuval Birnboim +1
The overcooling of cool core clusters is a persistent puzzle in the astrophysics of galaxy clusters. We propose that it may naturally be resolved via interactions between the baryo…
ULTRASAT: A wide-field time-domain UV space telescope
Y. Shvartzvald, E. Waxman, A. Gal-Yam +41
The Ultraviolet Transient Astronomy Satellite (ULTRASAT) is scheduled to be launched to geostationary orbit in 2026. It will carry a telescope with an unprecedentedly large field o…
Enhanced Extreme Mass Ratio Inspiral Rates into Intermediate Mass Black Holes
Ismail Qunbar, Nicholas C. Stone
Extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs) occur when stellar-mass compact objects begin a gravitational wave (GW) driven inspiral into massive black holes. EMRI waveforms can precisely…
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…
