Models of Accretion Disks [PDF]

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2007
An accretion flow onto a supermassive black hole is the primary process powering quasars. However, a geometry of this flow is not well constrained. Both global MHD simulations and observations suggest that there are several emission components present in the nucleus: an accretion disk, hot plasma (corona or sphere) with electrons scattering the optical

Genetically Programmed Shape‐Morphing of Engineered Living Materials

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Here, bacterial and mammalian engineered living materials (ELMs) are presented, in which living cells direct genetically programmed and enzymatically mediated shape‐morphing. The resulting deformation and shape‐recovery can be actuated in a genetically controlled manner by an ELM incorporating out‐of‐equilibrium counteracting biochemical reactions with

WIND-DRIVEN ACCRETION IN TRANSITIONAL PROTOSTELLAR DISKS

, 2017
Transitional protostellar disks have inner cavities that are heavily depleted in dust and gas, yet most of them show signs of ongoing accretion, often at rates comparable to full disks.

Bioinspired Hydrogels with Broadly Programmable Mechanics for Soft‐Tissue Interfaces

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Sea cucumber‐inspired gelatin hydrogels are formed by directional freezing and mechanically programmed through subsequent ionic treatment. Multiscale characterization and modeling link ion‐regulated chain interactions to directional load transfer within the aligned hierarchical architecture.

The Effects of Complex Accretion Disk Geometry on Broadened Iron Ka Lines

The Astrophysical Journal
X-rays are emitted from the corona above the orbiting matter of the accretion disk and either travel directly to the observer or illuminate the disk. Illumination of the inner disk is enhanced by gravitational light bending, which focuses the rays toward

Slim accretion disks

The Astrophysical Journal, 1988
In a recent paper, Abramowicz, Czerny, Lasota and Szuszkiewicz (1988) have found a new branch of equilibrium solutions for stationary accretion discs around black holes. These solutions correspond to moderately super-Eddington accretion rates. The existence of the new branch is a consequence of cooling due to general relativistic Roche lobe overflow ...

Accretion disks around young stars: the cradles of planet formation

, 2020
Protoplanetary disks around young stars are the birth sites of planetary systems like our own. Disks represent the gaseous dusty matter left after the formation of their central stars.

Degradable, Skin‐Conformal Nanocomposite‐Based Bioelectronic Patches for High‐Fidelity Electrophysiology and Gesture‐Controlled Robotics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A degradable, skin‐conformal bioelectronic patch combines a starch‐dominated nanocomposite conductor with a gelatin substrate to enable sensitive strain sensing, high‐fidelity electrocardiography, electromyography, electrooculography, and machine‐learning‐assisted gesture control.

Eccentric Binaries Accreting from Thin Disks: Orbital Evolution

The Astrophysical Journal
Circumbinary disks crucially affect the orbital and electromagnetic properties of binary systems across the Universe, from stars in our Galactic neighborhood to supermassive black hole binaries formed as the result of tumultuous galactic mergers ...

Guanosine‐Quadruplex Hydrogels as Dynamic, Mechanically Tunable and Ion Conductive 3D Scaffolds for Cell Culture Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Versatile guanosine‐quadruplex (GQ) hydrogels are developed as dynamic biomatrices for cell culture. These scaffolds are fabricated under mild aqueous conditions, present improved stability, tunable mechanical properties within physiological ranges; fibrillar, porous microstructure, ion conductivity, and cytocompatibility.
