we extend previous studies of the tidal truncation of coplanar disks in binary systems to the more general case of noncoplanar disks. as in the prograde coplanar case, lindblad resonances play a key role in tidal truncation. we analyze the tidal torque acting on a misaligned nearly circular disk in a circular orbit bin...
tidal torques on misaligned disks in binary systems
we present a systematic spectral-timing analysis of a fast appearance/disappearance of a type-b quasi-periodic oscillation (qpo), observed in four neutron star interior composition explorer (nicer) observations of maxi j1348-630. by comparing the spectra of the period with and without the type-b qpo, we found that the ...
