TL;DR: Flows of hot, ionized gas are detected in high-resolution X-ray spectra of a nearby tidal disruption event, ASASSN-14li in the galaxy PGC 043234, consistent with a rotating wind from the inner, super-Eddington region of a nascent accretion disk, or with a filament of disrupted stellar gas near to the apocentre of an elliptical orbit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mergers of stellar-mass black holes in nuclear star clusters
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present simulations of the three-body dynamics of BHs in this environment and estimate that, if most nuclear star clusters do not have supermassive black holes that interfere with the mergers, tens of events per year will be detectable with the advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relativistic Iron Emission Lines in Neutron Star Low-Mass X-Ray Binaries as Probes of Neutron Star Radii

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the inner radius of a 1.4 M-circle dot neutron star using relativistic Fe K emission lines from an accretion disk and showed that these lines correspond to 14.5-16.5 km for a single neutron star, which is in good agreement with the inner disk radii implied by kHz QPOs in both 4U 1820-30 and GX 349+2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three-body dynamics with gravitational wave emission
TL;DR: In this paper, numerical three-body experiments that include the effects of gravitational radiation reaction by using equations of motion that include 2.5-order post-Newtonian force terms, which are the leading-order terms of energy loss from gravitational waves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth of intermediate-mass black holes in globular clusters
TL;DR: In this paper, numerical simulations of binary-single scattering events of black holes in dense stellar environments are presented, showing that black hole binaries typically merge with a very high eccentricity and that adding gravitational wave emission decreases the time to harden a binary until merger by 30%-40%.
