3D simulations recover the critical obliquity for disc breaking predicted by semi-analytic models and reveal additional stabilization by spiral arms that can prevent breaking.
Realistic accretion-disk thickness and warps bias black-hole spin and geometry estimates when iron K-alpha lines are modeled with flat-disk assumptions.
High-resolution GRMHD simulations show that tearing of tilted accretion disks around rapidly spinning supermassive black holes drives order-of-magnitude variability in continuum and broad-line luminosities on months-to-years timescales, explaining changing-look AGN.
Free neutrons survive r-process freeze-out in fast ejecta of neutron star mergers and their beta-decay heating produces a visible early kilonova precursor for mass fractions above ~0.05.
Turbulent torques modeled as a Gaussian around the linear torque can push gas-induced dephasing in LISA EMRIs above the detection threshold for Eddington ratios above 0.3 and sufficient turbulence strength.

Chaotic migration of LISA Extreme Mass Ratio Inspirals in a turbulent accretion disk: effect on waveform de-phasing
