Self-consistently heated and cooled thin circumbinary disks still drive massive black hole binaries into long-lived non-accreting phases, producing X-ray-weak, optically variable sources that LSST and Roman could find.

GR hydro simulation finds that strongly relativistic TDEs evolve like weakly relativistic ones, with persistent eccentric debris, early but short-lived shocks, and slow circularization driven by stream self-interactions.
Simulations show the accretion rate PSD in a q=0.2 SMBH binary is a broken power-law with white noise to -4 slope transition at ~5 times orbital frequency due to damped random walk gas delivery and minidisk filtering.
3D hydro + 2.5PN simulations of an equal-mass 10^6 M_sun MBHB in a 0.1-aspect-ratio locally isothermal CBD measure a gas-induced orbital phase shift of 0.12 rad over 600 cycles, claimed detectable by LISA at z=1.

Gas-induced perturbations on the gravitational wave in-spiral of live post-Newtonian LISA massive black hole binaries: 0.1 disk aspect ratio
