Angular Momentum Transport in Proto-Neutron Stars and the Fate of Neutron Star Merger Remnants
Ben Margalit, Adam S. Jermyn, Brian D. Metzger +2
Both the core collapse of rotating massive stars, and the coalescence of neutron star (NS) binaries, result in the formation of a hot, differentially rotating NS remnant. The times…
Starfall: A heavy rain of stars in 'turning on' AGN
B. McKernan, K. E. S. Ford, M. Cantiello +5
As active galactic nuclei (AGN) `turn on', some stars end up embedded in accretion disks around supermassive black holes (SMBHs) on retrograde orbits. Such stars experience strong…
Stellar Evolution in the Disks of Active Galactic Nuclei Produces Rapidly Rotating Massive Stars
Adam S. Jermyn, Alexander J. Dittmann, Matteo Cantiello +1
Stars can either be formed in or captured by the accretion disks in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). These AGN stars are irradiated and subject to extreme levels of accretion, which c…
