Accretion Disc Winds in Tidal Disruption Events: Ultraviolet Spectral Lines as Orientation Indicators
Edward J. Parkinson, Christian Knigge, Knox S. Long +4
Some tidal disruption events (TDEs) exhibit blueshifted broad absorption lines (BALs) in their rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) spectra, while others display broad emission lines (BELs)…
Particle acceleration in astrophysical jets
James Matthews, Anthony Bell, Katherine Blundell
In this chapter, we review some features of particle acceleration in astrophysical jets. We begin by describing four observational results relating to the topic, with particular em…
Uncovering the orbital dynamics of stars hidden inside their powerful winds: application to Carinae and RMC 140
David Grant, Katherine Blundell, James Matthews
Determining accurate orbits of binary stars with powerful winds is challenging. The dense outflows increase the effective photospheric radius, precluding direct observation of the…
Thermal and radiation driving can produce observable disk winds in hard-state X-ray binaries
Nick Higginbottom, Christian Knigge, Stuart A. Sim +5
X-ray signatures of outflowing gas have been detected in several accreting black-hole binaries, always in the soft state. A key question raised by these observations is whether the…
Stratified disc wind models for the AGN broad-line region: ultraviolet, optical and X-ray properties
James H. Matthews, Christian Knigge, Nick Higginbottom +5
The origin, geometry and kinematics of the broad line region (BLR) gas in quasars and active galactic nuclei (AGN) are uncertain. We demonstrate that clumpy biconical disc winds il…
