Foundations of black hole accretion disk theory

MA Abramowicz, PC Fragile - Living Reviews in Relativity, 2013 - Springer
This review covers the main aspects of black hole accretion disk theory. We begin with the
view that one of the main goals of the theory is to better understand the nature of black holes …

Massive black hole binary evolution

D Merritt, M Milosavljevic - arXiv preprint astro-ph/0410364, 2004 - arxiv.org
Coalescence of binary supermassive black holes (SBHs) would constitute the strongest
sources of gravitational waves to be observed by LISA. While the formation of binary SBHs …

A global three-dimensional radiation magneto-hydrodynamic simulation of super-eddington accretion disks

YF Jiang, JM Stone, SW Davis - The Astrophysical Journal, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
We study super-Eddington accretion flows onto black holes using a global three-
dimensional radiation magneto-hydrodynamical simulation. We solve the time-dependent …

[图书][B] Dynamics and evolution of galactic nuclei

D Merritt - 2013 - books.google.com
Deep within galaxies like the Milky Way, astronomers have found a fascinating legacy of
Einstein's general theory of relativity: supermassive black holes. Connected to the evolution …

Are the variations in quasar optical flux driven by thermal fluctuations?

BC Kelly, J Bechtold… - The Astrophysical …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
We analyze a sample of optical light curves for 100 quasars, 70 of which have black hole
mass estimates. Our sample is the largest and broadest used yet for modeling quasar …

Global radiation magnetohydrodynamic simulations of sub-Eddington accretion disks around supermassive black holes

YF Jiang, O Blaes, JM Stone… - The Astrophysical …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
We conduct global three-dimensional radiation magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the
inner regions of accretion flows around a 5× 10 8 M⊙ black hole, with mass accretion rates …

Supercritical accretion flows around black holes: two-dimensional, radiation pressure-dominated disks with photon trapping

K Ohsuga, M Mori, T Nakamoto… - The Astrophysical …, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
The quasi-steady structure of supercritical accretion flows around a black hole is studied
based on two-dimensional radiation-hydrodynamic (2D-RHD) simulations. The supercritical …

Sustained magnetorotational turbulence in local simulations of stratified disks with zero net magnetic flux

SW Davis, JM Stone, ME Pessah - The Astrophysical Journal, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
We examine the effects of density stratification on magnetohydrodynamic turbulence driven
by the magnetorotational instability in local simulations that adopt the shearing box …

Observable signatures of extreme mass-ratio inspiral<? format?> black hole binaries embedded in thin accretion disks

B Kocsis, N Yunes, A Loeb - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation …, 2011 - APS
We examine the electromagnetic and gravitational wave (GW) signatures of stellar-mass
compact objects (COs) spiraling into a supermassive black hole (extreme mass-ratio …
