Circumbinary accretion: From binary stars to massive binary black holes
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 …

A review of quasi-periodic oscillations from black hole X-ray binaries: observation and theory
AR Ingram, SE Motta - New Astronomy Reviews, 2019 - Elsevier
Black hole and neutron star X-ray binary systems routinely show quasi-periodic oscillations
(QPOs) in their X-ray flux. Despite being strong, easily measurable signals, their physical …

Gas falling into a black hole (BH) from large distances is unaware of BH spin direction, and
misalignment between the accretion disc and BH spin is expected to be common. However …

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 …

Low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations spectra and Lense–Thirring precession
We show that the low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) seen in the power-
density spectra of black hole binaries (and neutron stars) can be explained by the Lense …

On the diffusive propagation of warps in thin accretion discs
In this paper, we revisit the issue of the propagation of warps in thin and viscous accretion
discs. In this regime, warps are known to propagate diffusively, with a diffusion coefficient …

Spin-driven jet feedback in idealized simulations of galaxy groups and clusters
We implement a black hole spin evolution and jet feedback model into SWIFT, a smoothed
particle hydrodynamics code. The jet power is determined self-consistently assuming that …

Global general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulation of a tilted black hole accretion disk
PC Fragile, OM Blaes, P Anninos… - The Astrophysical …, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
This paper presents a continuation of our efforts to numerically study accretion disks that are
misaligned (tilted) with respect to the rotation axis of a Kerr black hole. Here we present …
