A twisted disk equation that describes warped galaxy disks

open access: yes, 1994
Warped H1 gas layers in the outer regions of spiral galaxies usually display a noticeably twisted structure. This structure is thought to arise primarily as a result of differential precession in the H1 disk as it settles toward a 'preferred orientation'

Anisotropy of Core-collapse Supernovae Effected by the Disks of Active Galactic Nuclei

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) disks provide dense environments that influence star formation, evolution, and migration. In AGN disks, pressure gradients and migration accelerations could create the anisotropy of the core-collapse supernovae that occurs ...

The Search for Very High Energy γ-rays from Misaligned AGN [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The aim of this work is to study the potential for emission at very high energies (100 GeV) by misaligned active galactic nuclei (AGN) and the future prospects for observations of these objects with the next generation imaging atmospheric Cherenkov ...

Stellar CoRGI in MaNGA: Stellar Counterrotating Galaxies Identified in the MaNGA Survey

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Stellar counterrotating (CR) galaxies are systems hosting two large-scale stellar components rotating in opposite directions—a main, preexisting galaxy body with an older stellar population and a younger CR stellar disk likely formed from externally ...

Circumbinary Disk Spectra Irradiated by Two Central Accretion Disks in a Binary Black Hole System

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We study the effect of irradiation from two accretion disks (minidisks) around respective black holes of stellar-to-intermediate masses in a circular binary on the spectrum of a circumbinary disk (CBD) surrounding them. We assume the CBD to be a standard

Variable X-Ray Sources Associated with Extragalactic Supernova Remnants

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We report a serendipitous and unexpected discovery from a study of long-term X-ray variability in the nearby galaxy M83: a substantial fraction of X-ray sources classified as supernova remnants (SNRs) exhibit significant variability.

FORGE'd in FIRE II: The Formation of Magnetically-Dominated Quasar Accretion Disks from Cosmological Initial Conditions

open access: yes
In a companion paper, we reported the self-consistent formation of quasar accretion disks with inflow rates $\sim 10\,{\rm M_{\odot}\,yr^{-1}}$ down ...

Radiation Hydrodynamic Simulations of Massive Stars in Gas-rich Environments: Accretion of AGN Stars Suppressed by Thermal Feedback

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Massive stars may form in or be captured into active galactic nuclei (AGN) disks. Recent 1D studies employing stellar-evolution codes have demonstrated the potential for rapid growth of such stars through accretion up to a few hundred solar masses.
