Cool outflows in galaxies and their implications

S Veilleux, R Maiolino, AD Bolatto, S Aalto - The Astronomy and …, 2020 - Springer
Neutral-atomic and molecular outflows are a common occurrence in galaxies, near and far.
They operate over the full extent of their galaxy hosts, from the innermost regions of galactic …

Current status of r-process nucleosynthesis

T Ka**o, W Aoki, AB Balantekin, R Diehl… - Progress in Particle and …, 2019 - Elsevier
The rapid neutron capture process (r process) is believed to be responsible for about half of
the production of the elements heavier than iron and contributes to abundances of some …

First M87 event horizon telescope results. V. Physical origin of the asymmetric ring

K Akiyama, A Alberdi, W Alef, K Asada… - The Astrophysical …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has mapped the central compact radio source

Long-term GRMHD simulations of neutron star merger accretion discs: implications for electromagnetic counterparts

R Fernández, A Tchekhovskoy… - Monthly Notices of …, 2019 - academic.oup.com
We investigate the long-term evolution of black hole accretion discs formed in neutron star
mergers. These discs expel matter that contributes to an r-process kilonova, and can …

Efficient generation of jets from magnetically arrested accretion on a rapidly spinning black hole

A Tchekhovskoy, R Narayan… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2011 - academic.oup.com
We describe global, 3D, time‐dependent, non‐radiative, general‐relativistic,
magnetohydrodynamic simulations of accreting black holes (BHs). The simulations are …

General relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of magnetically choked accretion flows around black holes

JC McKinney, A Tchekhovskoy… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2012 - academic.oup.com
Black hole (BH) accretion flows and jets are qualitatively affected by the presence of ordered
magnetic fields. We study fully 3D global general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) …

Mechanical feedback from active galactic nuclei in galaxies, groups and clusters

BR McNamara, PEJ Nulsen - New Journal of Physics, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
The radiative cooling timescales at the centers of hot atmospheres surrounding elliptical
galaxies, groups and clusters are much shorter than their ages. Therefore, hot atmospheres …

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 …

Hot accretion flows around black holes

F Yuan, R Narayan - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2014 - annualreviews.org
Black hole accretion flows can be divided into two broad classes: cold and hot. Whereas
cold accretion flows consist of cool optically thick gas and are found at relatively high mass …

The event horizon general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic code comparison project

O Porth, K Chatterjee, R Narayan… - The Astrophysical …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
Fully general relativistic models of astrophysical sources are in high demand, not only since
the discovery of gravitational waves emitted from merging stellar mass black holes (Abbott et …
