摘要:
I will discuss theoretical work on modeling the interaction of a binary and a gas disk. Such systems are manifested astrophysically during the formation of planetary systems and in the nuclei of galaxies which harbor massive black hole binaries (MBHBs). I will demonstrate the existence of transitions in circumbinary disk solutions which delineate values of the binary mass ratio for which distinct modes of variable accretion occur. Finally, I will present Implications for planetary and MBHB systems along with recent applications of such circumbinary disk models to observations of MBHB candidates.
