Chasing Polar Alignment in Hierarchical Triple Systems
Offered By: Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore polar alignment in hierarchical triple systems through this 23-minute conference talk presented by Cristiano Longarini and Simone Ceppi from the University of Milan. Delivered at the "Building Bridges: Towards a Unified Picture of Stellar and Black Hole Binary Accretion and Evolution" conference hosted by the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, this presentation delves into the complexities of binary systems and their interactions with circumbinary gas. Gain insights into the evolution of circumbinary gas, its influence on embedded binaries, and the observational signatures that provide valuable information. Discover the latest advancements in numerical techniques used to model these systems and understand the similarities between massive black hole binaries and stellar binaries. This talk is part of a broader conference that brings together experts from diverse fields to explore the remarkable parallels between astrophysical phenomena at vastly different scales, from stars to supermassive black holes in galactic nuclei.
