Electromagnetic Emission from Supermassive Binary Black Holes Approaching Merger
Stéphane d'Ascoli, Scott C. Noble, Dennis B. Bowen +3
We present the first fully relativistic prediction of the electromagnetic emission from the surrounding gas of a supermassive binary black hole system approaching merger. Using a r…
Numerical relativity in spherical coordinates with the Einstein Toolkit
Vassilios Mewes, Yosef Zlochower, Manuela Campanelli +3
Numerical relativity codes that do not make assumptions on spatial symmetries most commonly adopt Cartesian coordinates. While these coordinates have many attractive features, sphe…
Quasi-Periodic Behavior of Mini-Disks in Binary Black Holes Approaching Merger
Dennis B. Bowen, Vassilios Mewes, Manuela Campanelli +3
We present the first magnetohydrodynamic simulation in which a circumbinary disk around a relativistic binary black hole feeds mass to individual accretion disks ("mini-disks") aro…
