Analytical and Numerical Methods for Circumbinary Disk Dynamics. II. Inclined Disks by Michal Pirog, Siddharth Mahesh, Sean T. McWilliams

“…Furthermore, we identify configurations where there is never a persistent balance between the dynamical and viscous torque densities, as well as cases where the location of this balance oscillates or exhibits other time-dependent behavior over viscous timescales. These findings have implications for understanding both the expected gravitational-wave signal and electromagnetic counterparts from supermassive black hole binaries.…”
