Emission from elliptical streams of dusty debris around white dwarfs
C. J. Nixon, J. E. Pringle, E. R. Coughlin +2
White dwarfs are routinely observed to have polluted atmospheres, and sometimes significant infrared excesses, that indicate ongoing accretion of circumstellar dust and rocky debri…
The Gravitational Instability of Adiabatic Filaments
Eric R. Coughlin, C. J. Nixon
Filamentary structures, or long and narrow streams of material, arise in many areas of astronomy. Here we investigate the stability of such filaments by performing an eigenmode ana…
Black Hole Accretion Discs and Luminous Transients in Failed Supernovae from Non-Rotating Supergiants
Eliot Quataert, Daniel Lecoanet, Eric R. Coughlin
We show that for supergiants, net angular momentum is not a necessary condition for forming accretion discs during core-collapse. Even absent net rotation, convective motions in th…
