Circumbinary accretion: From binary stars to massive binary black holes

D Lai, DJ Muñoz - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2023 - annualreviews.org
We review recent works on the dynamics of circumbinary accretion, including time variability,
angular momentum transfer between the disk and the binary, and the secular evolution of …

The quest for dual and binary supermassive black holes: A multi-messenger view

A De Rosa, C Vignali, T Bogdanović, PR Capelo… - New Astronomy …, 2019 - Elsevier
The quest for binary and dual supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the dawn of the multi-
messenger era is compelling. Detecting dual active galactic nuclei (AGN)–active SMBHs at …

Circumbinary disks: accretion and torque as a function of mass ratio and disk viscosity

PC Duffell, D D'Orazio, A Derdzinski… - The Astrophysical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Using numerical hydrodynamics calculations and a novel method for densely sampling
parameter space, we measure the accretion and torque on a binary system from a …

Electromagnetic counterparts to massive black-hole mergers

T Bogdanović, MC Miller, L Blecha - Living Reviews in Relativity, 2022 - Springer
The next two decades are expected to open the door to the first coincident detections of
electromagnetic (EM) and gravitational-wave (GW) signatures associated with massive …

A population of short-period variable quasars from PTF as supermassive black hole binary candidates

M Charisi, I Bartos, Z Haiman… - Monthly Notices of …, 2016 - academic.oup.com
Supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) at sub-parsec separations should be common
in galactic nuclei, as a result of frequent galaxy mergers. Hydrodynamical simulations of …

Orbital evolution of equal-mass eccentric binaries due to a gas disk: Eccentric inspirals and circular outspirals

DJ D'Orazio, PC Duffell - The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We solve the equations of two-dimensional hydrodynamics describing a circumbinary disk
accreting onto an eccentric, equal-mass binary. We compute the time rate of change of the …

Gas-driven inspiral of binaries in thin accretion disks

C Tiede, J Zrake, A MacFadyen… - The Astrophysical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Numerical studies of gas accretion onto supermassive black hole binaries have generally
been limited to conditions where the circumbinary disk (CBD) is 10–100 times thicker than …

Circumbinary, not transitional: on the spiral arms, cavity, shadows, fast radial flows, streamers, and horseshoe in the HD 142527 disc

DJ Price, N Cuello, C Pinte, D Mentiplay… - Monthly Notices of …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
We present 3D hydrodynamical models of the HD 142527 protoplanetary disc, a bright and
well-studied disc that shows spirals and shadows in scattered light around a 100 au gas …

Circumbinary accretion from finite and infinite disks

DJ Muñoz, D Lai, K Kratter… - The Astrophysical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
We carry out 2D viscous hydrodynamics simulations of circumbinary disk (CBD) accretion
using AREPO. We resolve the accretion flow from a large-scale CBD down to the streamers …
