Thermal X-ray signatures in late-stage unequal-mass massive black hole binary mergers
Luke Major Krauth, Jordy Davelaar, Zoltán Haiman +3
The multi-messenger combination of gravitational waves (GWs) from merging massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) and the electromagnetic (EM) counterpart from the surrounding circumbi…
Relativistic Binary Precession: Impact on Eccentric Binary Accretion and Multi-Messenger Astronomy
Stanislav DeLaurentiis, Zoltan Haiman, John Ryan Westernacher-Schneider +4
Recent hydrodynamical simulations have shown that circumbinary gas disks drive the orbits of binary black holes to become eccentric, even when general relativistic corrections to t…
Self-lensing flares from black hole binaries III: general-relativistic ray tracing of circumbinary accretion simulations
Luke Major Krauth, Jordy Davelaar, Zoltán Haiman +3
Self-lensing flares (SLFs) are expected to be produced once or twice per orbit by an accreting massive black hole binary (MBHB), if the eclipsing MBHBs are observed close to edge-o…
Multiwavelength Analysis of Fermi-LAT Blazars with High-Significance Periodicity: Detection of a Long-Term Rising Emission in PG 1553+113
P. Peñil, J. R. Westernacher-Schneider, M. Ajello +6
Blazars display variable emission across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, with timescales that can range from a few minutes to several years. Our recent work has shown that a s…
Constraining the PG 1553+113 binary hypothesis: interpreting hints of a new, 22-year period
Sagar Adhikari, Pablo Penil, John Ryan Westernacher-Schneider +5
PG 1553+113 is a well-known blazar exhibiting evidence of a -yr quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) in radio, optical, X-ray, and -ray bands. Since QPO mechanisms often…
Eccentric Minidisks in Accreting Binaries
John Ryan Westernacher-Schneider, Jonathan Zrake, Andrew MacFadyen +1
We show that gas disks around the components of an orbiting binary system (so-called minidisks) may be susceptible to a resonant instability which causes the minidisks to become si…
