The Kozai-Lidov Tango: The Ups and Downs of being a Polar Circumbinary Disk

The Kozai-Lidov Tango: The Ups and Downs of being a Polar Circumbinary Disk

by Konstantin Gerbig | Mar 18, 2023 | Daily Paper Summaries

Can binary stars have circumbinary disks that orbits them in a perpendicular plane? Today’s authors took a closer look at this setup and the complex exchange of material between stars and circumbinary disk.

Will it Merge? Investigating How Gas Disks Can Determine the Future of a Binary Black Hole System

Will it Merge? Investigating How Gas Disks Can Determine the Future of a Binary Black Hole System

by William Lamb | Mar 13, 2023 | Daily Paper Summaries

Will it merge? That is the question. Today’s paper looks at if the gas disk around a black hole binary will cause the binary to eventually coalesce

Smashing stellar nurseries together to see if they survive

Smashing stellar nurseries together to see if they survive

by Delaney Dunne | Feb 11, 2023 | Daily Paper Summaries

Galaxy mergers are violent places, which makes simulating their effects on fragile molecular clouds very difficult. The authors of today’s paper manage to do it anyway!

To View or Not to View: Explaining Optical/X-ray Evolution in Tidal Disruption Events with Viewing Angle and Accretion Rate Dependence

by Megan Masterson | Jan 30, 2023 | Daily Paper Summaries

Today’s paper presents a unified model for tidal disruption events, in which a star gets shredded by the tidal forces of a supermassive black hole!
