Precession and split of tilted, geometrically thin accretion disk: an analytical study

Abstract:It has been observed that many relativistic jets display a kind of cork-screw-like
precession. Numerical simulations has suggested that such kind of precession may originate from
the precession of the disk. In this work, we introduce an analytical model to describe the
precession and split of a tilted, geometrically thin disk. We consider the Lense-Thirring effect
from the central (primary) black hole (BH) and the gravitational effect from the companion
(secondary) BH far away from the center, both o… Show more
