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

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 …

Tearing up the disc: misaligned accretion on to a binary
In a recent paper, we have shown that the evolution of a misaligned disc around a spinning
black hole can result in tearing the disc into many distinct planes. Tearing discs with random …
