X-ray observations of galaxy cluster merger shocks can be used to constrain nonthermal processes in the intracluster medium (ICM). The presence of nonthermal pressure components in the ICM, as well...
An eccentric circumbinary accretion disk and the detection of binary massive black holes (2008)
MacFadyen, Andrew I., Milosavljević, Miloš
We present a two-dimensional grid-based hydrodynamic simulation of a thin, viscous, locally isothermal corotating disk orbiting an equal-mass Newtonian binary point mass on a fixed circular orbit. We...
The Cluster-Merger Shock in 1E 0657–56: Faster than a Speeding Bullet? (2007)
Milosavljević, Miloš, Koda, Jun, Nagai, Daisuke, Nakar, Ehud, Shapiro, Paul R.
Shock waves driven in the intergalactic medium during the merging of galaxy clusters have been observed in X-ray imaging and spectroscopy. Fluid motions inferred from the shock strength and...
Milosavljević, Miloš, Nakar, Ehud
Collisionless shocks are commonly argued to be the sites of cosmic-ray (CR) acceleration. We study the influence of CRs on weakly magnetized relativistic collisionless shocks and apply our results to...
Massive Black Hole Binary Evolution (2005)
Merritt, David, Milosavljević, Miloš
Coalescence of binary supermassive black holes (SBHs) would constitute the strongest sources of gravitational waves to be observed by LISA. While the formation of binary SBHs during galaxy mergers is...
Massive Black Hole Binary Evolution (2005)
David Merritt, Miloš Milosavljević
Coalescence of binary supermassive black holes (SBHs) would constitute the strongest sources of gravitational waves to be observed by LISA. While the formation of binary SBHs during galaxy mergers is...
The Final Parsec Problem (2003)
Milosavljević, Miloš, Merritt, David
The coalescence of massive black hole binaries is one of the main sources of low-frequency gravitational radiation that can be detected by LISA. When two galaxies containing massive black holes...
