Simple convective accretion flows (SCAFs): Explaining the density scaling of hot accretion flows around compact accretors
Wenrui Xu
Recent simulations find that hot gas accretion onto compact accretors are often highly turbulent and diskless, and show power-law density profiles with slope . These…

Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton accretion in Supergiant X-ray binaries: stability and disk formation
Wenrui Xu, James M. Stone
We use 2D (axisymmetric) and 3D hydrodynamic simulations to study Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton (BHL) accretion with and without transverse upstream gradients. We mainly focus on the regim…

Resonant Tidal Excitation of Oscillation Modes in Merging Binary Neutron Stars: Inertial-Gravity Modes
Wenrui Xu, Dong Lai
In coalescing neutron star (NS) binaries, tidal force can resonantly excite low-frequency (< 500 Hz) oscillation modes in the NS, transferring energy between the orbit and the NS.…
