The University of Arizona: LPL Colloquium – Searching for a New Paradigm of Binary-Disk Interaction
Dr. Diego Munoz Assistant Professor Northern Arizona University In the last five years, there has been a renewed interest in the classic problem of binary-disk interaction, where two point masses interact with a surrounding accretion disk. This process influences binary growth rate, angular momentum exchange, and orbital element evolution. Despite advancements in computational models, certain...
